The stacks of Harvard's Gore Hall, under demol­ition in 1913 to make way for Widener Library[1]
The stacks frame­work (visible within unfinished walls in this Decem­ber 1913 view) of Harvard's Harry Elkins Widener Memorial Library sup­ports the roof and top­most level of offices and special col­lec­tions[2] as well as shelves holding 3 mil­lion volumes.
One of Widener Library's ten stack tiers during construction. Next-higher tier is vis­i­ble be­cause floor panels, which are supported by the stacks frame­work, are not yet installed.

In library science and architecture, a stack or bookstack (often referred to as a library building's stacks) is a book storage area, as opposed to a reading area. More specifically, this term refers to a narrow-aisled, multilevel system of iron or steel shelving that evolved in the 19th century to meet increasing demands for storage space.[3] An "open-stack" library allows its patrons to enter the stacks to browse for themselves; "closed stacks" means library staff retrieve books for patrons on request.
