Columbia University - Butler Library

Butler is Columbia's only non-subject-specific library among the twenty on campus. Named for Columbia President Nicholas Murray Butler, it first opened in 1934 and now serves as the main undergraduate library, housing the history and humanities collections, twenty-eight million manuscript items, and two of the university’s seven million volumes. The rare manuscript library and more than forty departmental and divisional libraries can be found under its roof as well. The first floor of Butler has a café and reading room. There is also a computer lab on the first level, and Butler's main reading rooms have luxurious carrels complete with outlets for laptops and jacks for Internet access.
