The rooms of the first floor house the library’s reference and Africana collections. This function will be maintained in the current rooms. Terraces that are accessible via an external elevator will be installed, enabling wheelchair access to the first floor. The library’s impressive collection of antique furniture, requiring minimal movement, will likely be allocated to these rooms. The McMillan’s Africana collection was at some point in time the largest on the continent. This is an accolade that we would like to restore too!
