Collection Development staff has some items that represent overflow. These are reference items; HOWEVER, I would be willing to make them circulating for whichever location chooses to lay claim to them. I have linked the titles to the appropriate catalog entry.
Animal and Plant Anatomy - This is a very nice 12 volume set. Plenty of good diagrams and pictures. Useful for high school/middle school homework assignments.
Biblica: A Social and Historical Journey Through the Lands of the Bible - A large and comprehensive book with plenty of maps and pictures.
The Worldwide History of Dress - Another large, comprehensive book. Useful for those occasional questions about what sort of garb is worn on the Iranian Plateau (page 66 in case you are curious).
Van Nostrand's Scientific Encyclopedia - This is a 3 volume set. Entries are listed in alphabetical order, so it is very easy to look-up terms. Quite comprehensive, if somewhat dry.
