Re: Beinecke Library now open 4 evenings

[Alice Prochaska <alice.prochaska@YALE.EDU>]

Congratulations to the Beinecke Library for this really significant 
addition to public service.  I'm delighted to know that readers will now 
have enhanced periods of access to the unique and rare materials that can 
only be seen in the Beinecke.  And very many thanks to all the staff 
involved, for the flexibility and commitment that make this new arrangement 
possible.
