About this business
One would never guess that a Gutenberg Bible, rare prints by the famed ornithologist John Audubon, and other remarkable manuscripts and journals would all be located in this library in the heart of the Yale campus.

Wonderful library collection. TD
It is a wonderful library full of rare books and manuscripts that can be viewed behind glass by all but requests can be made to view them for research if you arrange ahead of time.

Fantastic tour of an amazing building. Accessible to all and something for everyone .
Phyllis Wheatley first edition books
We happened upon a tour in progress and are very happy that we did! Leland was terrific! Both incredibly informative and entertaining! Highly recommended.
One of a kind place for a bookworm

Amazing to see so many old tomes and books in one place. It left me wanting to see what was stored on the upper levels that are not accessible to the public. Very tranquil place.
