Street Level

• Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Circulating Library and Reading Room

  The Circulating Library is on the ground floor, just inside the main entrance on Madison Avenue. Here, users browse through current popular business and science periodicals and a 50,000-volume open-shelf collection, accomplish quick reference searches and choose materials for borrowing. The Circulating Library and Reading Room has been made possible by a generous gift from Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman.

  As they enter the lower level, users may stop at the adjacent B. Altman Desk, a multipurpose service desk.  Users may request and pick up books and periodicals from SIBL’s closed stacks from the center delivery service points.
