A thousand new trays, with capacity for a million cards, have been added to the Widener library upstairs catalog at a cost of about $12,000, it was announced yesterday.
The additions bring the normal capacity of the catalog to five million cards, but library officials note "we can squeeze in another million in a pinch."
