Harvard Library

If we compare professors and students to the host of a university, then the library of a university can be compared to the hallway.

The quality of a university, to some extent, is in direct proportion to that of its library.

At Harvard, the library is an indispensible part of everybody's life.

Both the quantity and the quality of the library make study an enjoyable process.

Harvard Library is not only the most ancient library in the United States, but the largest university library with the largest scale.

In 1638 John Harvard donated his whole library to the then Harvard College.

After 300 years of development, the library now holds 10 millions of books and comprises more than 100 branch libraries.

In addition to the libraries owned by each school, there are special libraries.

While most of the branch libraries are on Harvard campus, some are as far as in Washington, D. C. , or even in Florence of Italy.
