A Room of Everyone's Own (with a View)

Last week, A&L crossed the river: from the College Building to the Fleet Library, from a cozy corner to a spacious oasis. We’re on the Library’s second floor: take the 15 West lobby elevators to 2 and make a right. We can’t wait to welcome you. Stop by or make an appointment anytime, and don’t miss our grand “Opening & Happening” on Friday, September 20, from 11-2, during which we’ll attempt to activate all our modes of communicating and thinking and doing at once. More on that soon …
