We’re curious to see if Stacked readers are a little quicker than the General Public in picking up the correct – let’s repeat that – correct version of the Important News at the Library, that being that WE ARE NOT CLOSING. Some of our very best friends have been coming up to us at the circulation desk and even on the street and asking us “So when are you closing?” WE ARE NOT CLOSING. The reading room is closing. The Library is open. It’s just open on the 12th floor. All your favorite periodicals, travel guides, audio books, new books will be there for the taking. On 12. Not on 11. That’s how it works. Ride the elevator to 12. Not 11.
When?
July 1.
OK, so we are closing a little bit, starting Saturday through Tuesday. But that’s it. Not what anybody would call, you know, closing. Not really.
One of the new books you should ask about is The Secret Speech, the new Tom Rob Smith. Smith, you will remember us raving, is the author of Child 44 about which we were nuts. Don’t take our word for it, read Dennis Lehane’s review in the NYT. And then read Lehane’s The Given Day which we ordered you to do weeks ago.

wow
The Mercantile Library is closing ?
Grrrrrrr
Is this part of the Save Our Libraries campaign? When you do close, are you going to re-open at another location? Is the 11th floor to be permanently closed? Will the 12th floor be inadvertently open? Will Molly ever discover the real culprit behind her missing windows? Will Chester recover from his amnesia long enough to save Jessica from the firing squad? And what about Burt?
Confused? You will be after the next episode of…
The hell with it. We’re closing and moving to Mason, where parking is a breeze.
