Cornell University Pops Cork on Wine Library

摘要

The seven-foot-tall stacks in the newest library at Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, contain no books and offer no borrowing privileges. The brainchild of Susan Henry and Kathryn Boor, the former and current deans of the university's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS), Cornell's wine library was part of a $105 million renovation of the campus's Stocking Hall. The new space will store wines used for teaching in the school's viticulture and enology program, in which CALS students already grow and press their own grapes. Previously, storing wine properly presented a challenge, said Gavin Sacks, an associate professor in the Department of Food Science.
