John Jacob Niles' Steinway piano is located in the Niles Gallery at the Fine Arts & Design Library.
Spaces should be functional, but they should also inspire. Hear the patter of a rainstorm on the skylights 93 feet above you as you settle into a cozy chair in the Atrium of Young Library. Cross the skybridge and follow the sun around the Wethington Reading Room on the Fifth Floor. Hunt for the library’s oldest records (hint: they’re in the floor, and they’re as old as dinosaurs). Channel the spirit of Storm Cat as you gallop toward that deadline. Find art from contemporary Kentucky artists, one-of-a-kind 3D artists’ books, and hand-carved dulcimers from one of American music’s most important figures.
We hope you find all of our UK Libraries locations welcoming, warm, and even a bit delightful. Discover the history, art and artifacts, and legends and lore that make UK Libraries unique.
