Bottom Shelf Books

I figure that somewhere around 10% of the library's collection is on the Bottom Shelf. For many of us less-than-nimbled, this presents either a back or a knee problem. (Back pain books are not on the bottom shelf, at least at Main.) To introduce you to some of these bottom shelf treasures, we've lined up a small sample, right here, for armchair browsing.

This particular sample came from the Arts section of the Main Library; what we here call "the 700s". We'd be happy to retrieve any for you. Place a hold today and we'll have it ready for you ASAP.
