About us

We are the largest library on campus and an ideal spot for you to find a group study space or quiet spot to read, work, and recharge. While we officially house the humanities and social sciences collections, we offer a range of resources and librarians to help you with your studies. Green Library is also home to the Media and Microtext Center, where you can explore our film and video game collection, and to the Reference Desk, where you can speak with a librarian about finding resources or getting started on your research.

Within Green Library you can also find the following library spaces:

After-hours study space

Beginning March 31, 2025 Stanford ID holders will have access to a new after-hours study space in Green Library, five nights a week.  

All Stanford ID holders can access the designated late-night study space on the first floor of Green East (facing Coupa Café). All other areas of the Green Library building will close at their regularly scheduled times.
