Built with generous support of Charles P. Stevenson Jr., Bard’s library was designed by the award-winning firm of Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates. The resources of Stevenson and its satellite libraries in the Levy Economics Institute, Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard Graduate Center, and Bard College Berlin include more than 900,000 volumes in paper and e-books and access to over 80 databases and 50,000 paper and online journals. The Library’s special collections include the personal library of the renowned political theorist Hannah Arendt and her husband, Heinrich Bluecher; the Montgomery Place library of 19th-century statesman and jurist Edward Livingston; and the Sussman Rare Book Collection, containing more than 1,300 volumes ranging from bound manuscripts and examples of early printing to rare beatnik and political literature.
