RISD students are lucky to have a library like this!! IMO it would be even better if the college offered some open house days to the public just to admire the details and deco of the building or for browsing the vast collection of books & other materials.
This is a beautiful library where I worked part-time in the slide collection while attending school. Their collection is extensive. Although I found that I could not devote enough time to this while a full-time student, I am grateful for the opportunity and experience.
