Widener Circulation Is Still Over Thousand Books A Day

Lamont Library has completely failed to cut into Widener's circulation in its first two weeks of operation, Robert H. Haynes '22, Assistant Librarian of the College Library, announced yesterday. Widener has maintained its previous normal rate of about 1000 books a day despite the competition, Haynes said.

Conversion of Widener to a private haven for graduate students has made rapid strides in the last week with the shifting of the reference department into what was the main reading room, and the establishment of the reference desk at the former reserve book desk.
