Central Library's general information desk located in the lobby of the second floor just before closure for the 1990s remodel. Fans sit above the card catalogs on the back wall for air circulation as the building was not air conditioned before the renovation. The sign in front of the desk indicates Central's move to a temporary home at the TransCentral Library, located in the 1951 former State Office Building between S.W. Fourth and Fifth Avenues and Columbia and Clay Streets. Transcribed from back of photo: ''Old' Info Desk 2nd Floor Facing East'.
