Walking Directions to Butler Reference

Butler Reference Dept. is located on the third floor of Butler Library (Rooms 301 and 310).

If you are coming from the West 116th Street Subway Station or the 104 bus stop, enter the College Walk gate at W 116th St and Broadway. Walk to the Sundial, halfway between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue, and turn to your right. You will see the Butler Library building's columned facade and inscriptions of great authors (all dead white male authors, some have complained).

If you come from Amsterdam Avenue, enter through the 116th Street gate to College Walk. You will see the Butler building on your left.

If you arrive at West 114th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue, you can enter either a gate by the Carman Hall and Butler or another one closer to Amsterdam Avenue by the John Jay Hall and Butler. Go around the corner and you will find the main entrance.

The main campus entrance of the Butler building is usually the only entrance open, except during the late evening and early morning hours, when the study hall only is accessible through the East entrance, near John Jay Hall.

Show your C.U.I.D. or library card to the guard, go up the main staircase, take the right stairs one flight up. Should you need an elevator, it is located on the West side of the building. Take the right corridor after passing thorugh the check point. Turn to left and you will find the elevator near public phones. There are two more passenger elevators on the East side of the building.

The Reference Desk is located in Room 301. Some of reference books will be also housed in the adjacent room (Room 310 [old 325]). Reference books will be moved from Stacks Level 6 to 310 in May 2000.
