University Library


Humanities Reading Room

Room with library books on shelves and table

The Humanities Reading Room was founded through a generous gift to the University Library from a donor who wishes to remain anonymous. Almost 2700 books make up the collection in the room. Books may not be checked out, but are intended to be enjoyed while visiting the room. The room is located in McDonald 209 on the second floor of the library.
