Article Abstract:

Goucher College's new library in the Athenaeum is mentioned as an outstanding place for learning and for bringing individuals together in a space at the heart of the campus community.

Lead:

Can it be only two years, as Alan Jay Lerner once wrote, “since the whole [economic] rigmarole began”? Yet libraries have weathered to varying degrees the unreliability of funding, especially with regard to programming, materials, and hours. Money earmarked years ago is seeing construction through to conclusion; state support has helped out in some cases, defaulted in others. Private contributions seem to have fallen in the wake of personal concerns.
