(It is accessible, but only on submitting a special application.) Since the Library is a reference library, readers can't take its books out of the Reading Rooms; they have a choice between reading books they have brought in with them and doing something else. It doesn't really seem terribly surprising that people who have gone in to use the Reading Rooms should take a break, or that all the people taking a break from research should be alike in not reading on their break.

The man dressed in black in the center of the picture, upon smelling the soup, whips out a Chinese takeout menu and his cell phone. The woman in red, as comfortable in her chair as she is with her fate, continuously clicks the “check mail” icon on her Yahoo! Mail. She’s confident that the next click will reward her with word of the acceptance of her historical paranormal romance by the agent she queried thirteen months ago. The woman in red is oblivious to the gentleman sitting across the aisle from her. His pen is still poised against the paper, though his eye lids are closed, and his chin is resting heavily upon his chest. After spending three hours trying to decipher the first two pages of “Finnegans Wake”, he slipped into a deep slumber…possibly a coma.
