With welcoming spaces, expansive collections, and innovative services across our libraries on campus, Cornell University Library is a unified community empowering academic achievement and intellectual exploration at Cornell and beyond.

About the Library Annex

The Library Annex is a state-of-the-art high-density, climate-controlled, clean, and secure home for library materials in various formats.
