Blegen Library Seating Assignments

As the academic year in North America comes to an end the busy season at the Blegen begins and we are working to accommodate the visits of summer members. It will be a great help to us if you can assist with the following:

1) Regular Members - If you plan to continue using the Blegen, please let us know which seat you are sitting at in the reading room, so we can assign the other seats at the members' tables to visiting members.
2) All Members - Please vacate the three large tables in the basement by the beginning of June to allow for the Summer Session students, who will all be assigned there.
3) All Members - If you have a seat assignment but have left for the summer, please let us know so we can re-assign your space.
4) All Members - If you use your assigned space infrequently, please let us know if you are willing to allow a visiting member to double up temporarily.

Thanks for your help!
