The second floor of Lockwood Memorial Library has a fresh look designed to make browsing easier and more inviting. Featuring updated shelving that allows more natural light into the space and clear, easy-to-read signage, the redesign highlights four key collections: the International Leisure Reading Collection, Graphic Novel Collection, East Asian Collection, and Juvenile Collection.

Whether you’re searching for fiction in foreign languages, graphic novels, scholarly works in Chinese, Japanese or Korean, or award-winning children’s books, the refreshed layout and improved wayfinding create a more user-friendly experience.

While all materials are searchable through OneSearch, discovering them in person is now easier than ever thanks to Lockwood’s streamlined design. Stop by and explore the updated space!
