Most of the building is wheelchair accessible, though certain public areas such as the Stacks and far corners of the Reading Room would be difficult or too tight to navigate without assistance.
In rare cases, there may be narrowing or obstruction to the pathways due to book carts, stepping stools, or oversized items.
