School of Visual Arts Library

Description

The School of Visual Arts Library is a major resource for art and design study, developed over the course of 60 years to foster the college’s intellectual and creative life. Its rich print and digital collections directly support the School of Visual Arts’ undergraduate and graduate curricula. In addition, library collections provide inspiration, establish context and widen perspectives. Library instructional services have been developed to sharpen students’ critical thinking and provide basic tools for lifelong learning.
Since 1978 the School of Visual Arts Library has been located at 380 Second Avenue in the Gramercy section of Manhattan. It is a comfortable, accessible and attractive space on campus where the School of Visual Arts community can relax, study and collaborate. A knowledgeable and responsive library staff is available to assist with collections and services. Caitlin Kilgallen – our former Associate Library Director – has been promoted to Library Director!
