The above quote is from Elisabeth Elkind—Class of 1978. Read the full memory below:

I remember some wonderful big black chairs that I think were on a lower level and faced the back windows looking out over downtown Providence and amazing sunsets. I remember enormous quantities of brilliant forsythia beside the front steps.

I had a job filing cards at the Rock, which led to a job filing cards at another library when I graduated, which led to promotions up the library assistant ladder, library school, and a career as an archivist/cataloger. It all started at the Rock!

On a less positive note, I was flashed by a creepy older man when sitting alone at a carrel in the stacks writing a paper.
