Uris Library and Libe Slope

The 1891 library beside the tower with the A. D. White reading room, the one that looks like a Victorian dream of a library. Libe Slope falls away from the front door down to West Campus and the lake view.

Guide's tip. Visitors welcome in the White Library; quiet. The slope is the campus's front lawn.
