On August 12, 2010 a number of Chapter members were treated to a tour of the new Simmy and Harry Ginsburg Health Sciences Library on the North Broad Street campus of Temple University.
The library is comprised of three floors. The main entrance is located at street level. On this level are a welcome/waiting area, Circulation and Reference desks, various staff workrooms, a quiet study room, the Reference Reading Room, printers, and copiers.
These chairs by the library entrance enable students to wait comfortably for their study partners
Just inside the library are the Reference and Circulation desks
The ground floor contains stationary and compact shelving for bound journals, the Rare Book Room, a staff area, and study rooms of various sizes.
A study area. Smaller, private rooms are available also.
The second floor includes an Instruction Room and a Reference Computer Classroom. On this level also are the Library Administration offices, printers and copiers, a Reading Room, and a Quiet Study Area.
The library has several quiet study rooms of various sizes
Besides providing study carrels with internet connections for students’ own laptops (or those borrowed from the library), there are also public access computers available.
Many study carrels with laptop connections are provided throughout the library
This is but one of many public access computers provided
A centrally-located, spiral staircase links the three floors of the library
Combined with the natural and earth tones of the decor, the abundance of natural lighting gives the library a comfortable, pleasant atmosphere. Overall, this is a lovely, clean, and well-lighted place for academic study and instruction.

I welcome “newbie” Marita Malone to the Chronicle’s pages; she attended her first MLA conference and lived to tell about it. Enjoy her lighter side of the conference. Thanks also to Martha Kirby and Gary Kaplan, who provided a report on an event sponsored by the Philadelphia area chapter of SLA.
