The DeWitt Wallace Periodical Room Room 108, known as the DeWitt Wallace Periodical Room, offers a diverse array of current loose periodicals, including current issues of journals, domestic and foreign newspapers, and loose magazines. The DeWitt Wallace Periodical Room is also a quiet study space with Wi-Fi. The room is named for the founder of Reader's Digest Magazine, who spent countless hours in the Periodical Room during the 1920s, reading and condensing articles from the Library's collection. In 1983, the room's restoration was made possible by a generous gift from the Wallace Fund, established by DeWitt and Lila Wallace. |
