A WORD ABOUT THE GROLIER CLUB EXHIBITION HALL:
Most Grolier Club events take place in the ground floor Exhibition Hall, which also acts as our auditorium. For the sake of the valuable books and manuscripts on display in the Exhibition Hall, the temperature and humidity are tightly controlled, and some visitors may find the room too cool for comfort. We urge those visitors who may be sensitive to cold to bring a light jacket or wrap with them to Grolier Club events.
