The University of Michigan Library in Ann Arbor is the subject here, a building that served as the campus's main book collection and reading room for generations of students and faculty. Libraries like this one were often the architectural centerpieces of American state universities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, reflecting a belief that a well-stocked reading room was central to higher learning. The University of Michigan, founded in 1817, grew into one of the largest public universities in the country, and its library expanded alongside it. Pictures of such buildings are useful to historians tracing how campus life and academic architecture changed over time.
