The building consists of six stories and a penthouse, floors are collections of documents and publications of the United Nations and its specialized agencies and the Woodrow Wilson Collection of publications dealing with the activities of the League of Nations. The Map Collection containing about 60,000 maps and a library of atlases, gazetteers, guides and other works of reference in many languages is also housed here. In addition to reading rooms and ample stack space, the library has a number of special features which include a 200-seat auditorium. There is also a Periodicals Reading Room, supplied with current issues of several thousand periodicals and hundreds of newspapers from all over the world, and a microfilm reading room. The main purpose of the Library is to serve as a reference center for delegates, Secretariat members and accredited representatives of the press and certain organizations. Its holdings are limited to materials bearing on the interests of the United Nations, that is the political, legal, social, economic and geographical conditions in all the nations of the world.
In the Microfilm Reading Room of the Library, Mrs. Pauline Shavit of the UN Office of Public Information reads a page of a back issue of the New York Times on a manual-Type Recordak Microfilm Reader.
