Housing more than 3.75 million volumes, this is the largest library on the Yale campus and serves as the center of the library system. The building, completed in 1930, was designed by James Rogers (Yale 1889) as a memorial to John Sterling (Yale 1864), who donated much of his fortune to Yale. The building, which Rogers remarked was "as near to modern Gothic as we dared to make it," is made up of sixteen stack levels and eight floors of reading rooms, offices, and work areas. The collections, devoted primarily to the humanities and social sciences, are housed mainly in the stacks.
