Elevator to the Second Floor

Since the Albright Memorial Library first opened its doors in 1893 and up through the present time, library visitors who were unable to climb stairs never got to see the library's majestic second floor which includes the Leonore Rice Reference Room and the Periodical Room. All of this will change soon when a handicapped accessible elevator is installed with an outside entrance and stops on the 1st and 2nd Floors. At the left is an architectural drawing of the proposed elevator.

Scroll down for photos. Keep checking this blog for updates on our progress and more details.








The photo below shows the location of the elevator in the rear of the building.
It will replace the current ramp.


The following photo depicts the location of the future elevator entrance to the Periodicals Room which is located on the 2nd Floor.
