On Nov. 16, the Widener Library Periodicals Reading Room opened in its new location on the first floor of the library. The room features comfortable seating, HOLLIS terminals, onsite staff, and a selection of the more heavily consulted periodicals and newspapers. Wideners current, unbound journal collection will be housed in the adjacent stacks for easy access. The refurbishment of the Periodicals Reading Room is a part of the Widener Stacks Renovation project.
