236 of the building, is the librarian's office, with a strong room opening from it for rare books, and a small storeroom for a collection of local literature and antiquities.

The whole of the rooms are 18 feet in height,

and the lending library book-store can have two tiers of bookcases, each 7 feet 6 inches in height, thus giving shelf-room for about 60,000 volumes. In the basement underneath, further accommodation can be obtained when the whole of the shelving is full.
