The Edna Barnes Salomon Room, located east of the McGraw Rotunda in Room 316, is usually utilized as an event space.
The 4,500-square-foot (420 m²) was originally intended as a picture gallery, and oil paintings still hang on the walls.
In 2009, it was converted to a "wireless Internet reading and study room" to provide overflow capacity for internet users who cannot fit in the Main Reading Room.
