The west side, which faces Bryant Park, contains "tall, narrow windows" that provide views into the stacks inside the Main Branch.
The narrow windows allow light to enter the stacks below the third-floor Rose Main Reading Room.
Above the tall windows, near the top of the facade, are nine large arched windows that illuminate the reading room itself.
