Rauner Special Collections Library

The Rauner Special Collections Library is one of a number of libraries at Dartmouth College and it is my favorite one, hands down. The building houses valuable archives, manuscripts, and rare books including works by Faulkner, Hemingway, Daniel Webster (Class of 1801), Robert Frost (Class of 1896), early drawings by Theodor Geisel (better known as Dr. Seuss, Class of 1925), and one of Shakespeare's folios. The building itself has won architectural awards. I love the space because it is beautiful and has large windows facing out towards "the beach" or the area between the main entrance to Baker Library and the Green. It also has the most comfortable couches on campus on the mezzanine!
