    The University of Kentucky is building a new 2 million volume
    library  (construction to begin summer 1994).  The building program
    calls for 70 degrees plus or minus 2 degrees temperature and 50%
    plus or minus 3% relative humidity.  The building will have open
    stacks and house a general, not rare book, collection. While current
    advice seems to be to get the best conditions you can afford and can
    maintain," I would appreciate hearing what new libraries or
    renovations are actually settling for.

    ...
    Thank you very much for your input.
