For 200 years, the Institute Library has brought people together through reading, inquiry, and the exchange of ideas.

Today, that tradition continues through fellowships, original research, public scholarship, and collaborative programs that connect knowledge with community life.

At the heart of this work is the Social Justice Reader Fellowship, which supports emerging scholars as they investigate questions of race, justice, and society through sustained research and mentorship.

Through Research in Action and Public Scholarship, the Library also provides opportunities for scholars, artists, writers, students, and community members to investigate ideas, share discoveries, and engage in meaningful public conversation.

The Institute Library is a place where ideas are explored, knowledge is shared, and inquiry becomes public engagement. Help us get the word out.
