Top question this week: Where are the Newspapers and Magazines?

As many of you have noticed, we've made some changes up on the palatial second floor reference area of Rochester Public Library over the President's Day weekend!

All of the new magazines, newspapers, new nonfiction items, and foreign language materials have been moved over to the rotunda area (to your immediate right as you reach the top of the second floor). Magazines have been consolidated into new spinning racks and the new non-fiction items are displayed face-out on the wall so that you will more easily be able to judge our books by their covers (although we're sure you'll judge them on their merits as well).

Now you can read the Post Bulletin, Wall Street Journal, New York Times and other newspapers and magazines while taking in the semi-breathtaking view of downtown Rochester in the sunshine.*

Nonfiction VHS tapes, books on CD, and books on cassette have moved over into the former magazine area (to your immediate left as you reach the second floor). Once you get over the immediate shock of not being able to find your favorites in their same places, let us know what you think of the new layout.
