Welcome to our new Library website!  In addition to the new look and feel, we have made our website easier to browse and navigate. We hope that you will notice that it will take you less "clicks" to find the information you need. If you have any trouble finding something on our new site or if you have a question, please click here to email us.  We welcome all your questions, comments and suggestions.

The image at the top of the Library's website is a collage: the five sections of the facade are meant to evoke the range of materials held by the Library, in addition to books, journals. From left you will see a lithograph of a line drawing from letterhead in the Archives, an impression from a copper printing plate, a photograph, a section of a copper printing plate (the same one used to print the second section), and a pencil sketch.
