At the heart of the current renovation project is the restoration of the third floor Reading Room. Thirty years after the building opened, the Reading Room and Lobby were divided in half horizontally to provide more floor space for expanding collections and programs. Now, forty-five years later, these added floors will be removed and the Reading Room will be restored to it's original two-story grandeur for the current periodicals collection. An overhead pedestrian bridge will connect the Candler Library Reading Room to the Woodruff Library on Level 3. This renovation and restoration project will return a historic jewel to the Emory community by Fall 2003.
