Uris Library
The oldest library building at Cornell, the Harold D. Uris Library is heavily used both for its study spaces, including group study rooms, and for its core collection in the humanities and social sciences. The study spaces in Uris are open 24 hours a day during most of the academic year. Uris houses two computer labs, one of which is used for the many library instruction sessions held throughout the year.
Uris is also home to the A. D. White Library, which was built to hold the 30,000 books that Cornell's first president, Andrew Dickson White, donated in 1891. This beautiful library-within-a-library contains holdings in American and world history, and its reading room is filled with art and memorabilia from White's diplomatic career.
