THE NEW LIBRARY. Something About the Arrangements of the Interior, CONVENIENCE CONSULTED. ‘The Spacious General Reading Room—Rook Stacks Nine Stories High—An Automatic Delivery—The Handsome Main Entrance and How It Will be Decorated. HE INTERIOR OF THE NEW NATIONAL Library building will not be extravagantly gorgeous, but it will be in keeping with the exterior and of a character appropriate to the ch the building is designed. feature will be the arrange- mee, utility and comfort. ‘There will be room for many more volumes thar now comprise the library, but the build- ing is constructed for years yet to come, and provision is made for the greatest possible storage capacity for books, always preserving convenience of arrangement which will make the management of the library as simple as | possible. There are now not over 600,000 books fm the Congressional Library. The book stacks | in the new building will accommodate abcut 2,000,000 rolumex, and the building crowded to ite utmost, without sacrifice of convenience, | ould be made to hold 6,000,000 volumes. The at its present size will, therefore, ‘eecapy bat a small part of the space, but it will ly fill up rapidly enough. But the | terior in of the building is snch as to be/ easily adapted to any arrangement of the | Mbrary or fo most any use to which it might | be deemed desirable to put any part of it OFFICES AND RRADIXG ROOD. ‘The basement story, that is the first story | above the ground level, will probably be used for office purposes, the copyright business and | the general work of a clerical character neces- | sary to the administration of the vast establish- | ment. Above that is the main floor, on which is the main entrance and the large reading room, octagonal in form. The reading room, like the | of the Capitol, opens up to the vaulted | ceiling at the roof. Extending out to the north | and to the south will be the great book stacks, | and to the east will be a similar stack, only not nearly as large. The building will have two | stories above the basement story. as has the | Capitol, but the upper story will be more | spacious, the high ceilings providing immense wall space for the display of lithographs. en- gravings, etchings, maps, charts, paintings or | whatever it may be necessary to display from | ‘the walls. BOOK STACKS NINE STORIES HIGH. ‘The book stacks extending upward from the first floor will be nine stories high, seven feet toastory. There will be no climbing on step ladders. No story of the stack is higher than | @ man can reach. If book is out of reach it | is en another story. This arrangerent for the books is the most convenient possible and is original with this building. The stacks sre built within the court and extend out from the octagonal reading room like the two arms and the head of across. There will be both stair- cases and elevators and a system of commani- cation with the reading room which will avoid delay and confusion. It will be arranged by what is known as the central system. ‘The su- perintendent of the reading room will occupy | 8 raised circular desk or pulpit in the middle of | the octagonal room. Ranged in circular form sround this center will be rows of reading ta- Dies capable of accommodating 300 persons. Around the disk will be a circular counter. of the book reposi: tion by telephone nals, and there will system of book elevators | the stacks, ‘The visitor, picking out the book he wishes, after looking over the catalogue at the desk, writes the title or number of volume, as it may be, on aslip, his desire is at once communi- cated to that part of the repository where the Book is to be found, and the book being put in one of the carriages of the endiess chain it is laid before iim im two or three minutes. When as book is returned it may be placed in the | proper compartment of the carrier and it will delivered at that part of the book stack | ‘where it belongs, so that the public will com- | municate with the great store house of learn- | ing through the little circular desk in the mid die of the reading room. There will be no con- S.s.on by the going in and out of messengers, with arms full of books, and the readers will Bot be subjected to the delay of awaiting the slow movements of messengers. The automatic delivery system will take the place of messen- gers. There will also be elevators large enough | © carry a man and a little dray of books in the | stacks, so that sets of large volumes which could not be conveniently carried by the automatic delivery may be sent down to the floor below and dehvered at the desk by means of « “plunger” elevator, which will run from the reading room to the basement floor. Every possible convenience will be provided | for the readers end the quict of the room will De preserved. High up toward the vaulted ceiling there will be a balcony accessible from | the grand main entrance by a marble staircase, | or from the floor of the reading room by spiral stairs in each of the alcoves which surround the room. Visitors who merely want to see the place may go into this gallery, where they will Feta better view of the room than they would | the floor and yet will not disturb the readers. The room will be beautifully lighted by the large half-moon windows in the dome. A READING ROOM FOR CONGRESS. Besides this reading room there will bea Teading room for Congress, located, probably, ‘at the west front. The entire building will be s0 | strongly constructed that if it were packed full | of scrap iron it would bear the weight, and there will be no part of the building which will not be available for the storage of books when At present there will be ample room in the curtains of the building, which may be used as lecture rooms, as art galleries ed. il be no money wasted in gaudy dis- yat the interior of the building will have betantial appearance and the decorations | Will be rich and in good taste. The building | when finished will show for the money ex- pended ox it, but it will not cost any more than | estimate, and there will be ne decoratio: not planned for from the start THE HANDSOME MATIX ENTRANCE. The richest interior decoration will be that of the main entrance, which will be an immense ‘vestibule to the reading room, and that of the | entrance or ves- Die room, with vaulted ceiling. heavy — lor y. All the statues in statuary hall of the House could find room there. The } columns, the staircase, the panels and bal- ustrades will be of white marbie, and the cary- | ing will not be so abundant = to the story above and to the balcony of the Feading room. From this chamber of glari whiteness isentered the reading room, which be trimmed with p:nels and’ columns of colored marble, which will give it a rich and warm sppearance, giving rest to the eye Of the readers and suggesting quiet and com- fort. Atevery angle of the octagon will bea cluster of columns of colored marble, and the light, coming throagh the large half-moon win dows, will be ditfused softly throughout the | room.
