In response to a growing demand, the staff of Widener Library is now preparing a new ultra-modern book chute where students may return books during the hours in which the Library is closed. Up until this fall there has been no method by which students could return books during the evening.
Located on the East front wall of the Library, the chute consists of rollers and a container for the books. When a certain number of books have been dropped into the chute, a photo electric cell connection is broken, lowering the floor of the container so as to make room for more volumes. After about 75 books have collected in the container, an automatic alarm summons the night watchman.
