The Old Library
Stan asked a staff member how long it had been since the “Old Library” had been in general use as a library. He carefully checked his watch, and said “about an hour”, that being when he last let a researcher up to the second floor. The entire library is still open to the students for research. The oldest book was printed in 1453. The most recent printing? 1898.
