The Joseph Regenstein Library

Located just to the north of the Main Quad, the Regenstein Library, affectionately called “the Reg,” is the busiest and most action-packed of our six libraries. Students can collaborate together in an all-night study space or in a private study room, or find a quiet nook in the seven floors of stacks for independent work. The Reg also hosts classes and study groups, and the first floor is home to Ex Libris, one of many student-run coffee shops.

Just next door is Mansueto's stunning glass-domed reading room, a delightful workspace in any season. Under the feet of students studying there are five stories of high-density shelving containing 3.5 million books and journals, retrieved within minutes upon request by five gigantic, robotic cranes.
