The entrance to the Gates Special Collections Classroom (SML 150B) is at the back of the Linonia & Brothers (L&B) Reading Room in Sterling Memorial Library.
►Finding the Linonia & Brothers (L&B) Reading Room:
- From the main (High Street) entrance to Sterling Memorial Library: Turn right immediately after passing through the security turnstile just inside the door, pass the "Book Return" bin, and turn right again into the L&B Reading Room (Room 165).
- From the York Street entrance to Sterling Memorial Library, the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL), or elsewhere inside the building: Pass through the Nave towards the main (High Street) exit, turn left immediately before you reach the security kiosk, pass the "Book Return" bin, and turn right into the L&B Reading Room (Room 165).
►Stop by the Gates Classroom Locker Alcove first:
- 20 lockers, reserved for those using the Gates Classroom, are in the last alcove on the left of the fireplace at the back of the L&B Room. Instructions for the use of the lockers are on the inside of each locker door.
- Because the Gates Classroom is a secure classroom, and guests may be handling irreplaceable special collections material, all personal belongings, food, and drink must be secured in a locker prior to entering the Gates Classroom. The Gates Classroom is continuously monitored by video surveillance cameras.
- We welcome pencils, notebooks, texts needed for a class session, laptops, and cameras in the Gates Classroom. Please silence your cell phones before entering.
►Enter the Gates Classroom:
- When leaving the locker alcove, cross in front of the L & B Reading Room fireplace. The door to the Gates Classroom is to the right of the fireplace.
