The area for current issues of periodicals was rearranged to better utilize the space. Display racks in slimmer design and new furniture have been acquired so that more space is available for reading and studying. You will also find current issues of newspapers here. We hope the new arrangement can bring a modern touch to the Library and a better experience to our users.
