The central Columbia library, holding 2 million volumes in the humanities. People there like to do two things:
- Work.
- Spend time on Boredatbutler.com.
It was named for Nicholas Murray Butler.
The Phillip L. Milstein Family College Library
Butler is also home to the Milstein Library which is the official designation for the 24-hour reading rooms and the collection of books stored within on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors of the library. Since Milstein isn't really distinguishable from Butler itself in any major fashion, no one actually uses the term 'Milstein', and most probably don't even know that it 'exists'. After 11pm, when the other rooms of the library close, graduate students come down from other floors and overcrowd the 24-hour reading rooms.
