    Great historical building. More museum than library now. A great place to spend some time while learning more about Bloomington and it's history. Great for kids as well.

    A little gem at IU! They house a lot of really awesome, rare items. If you want to look at any books, you will have to wear white gloves (which they provide) and even put the book on this little book holder thing so the spine isn't damaged by opening it too far. and you cannot check any materials out, though you are welcome to look at them there in the library.

    An absolutely amazing experience. Oscars, The Emancipation Proclamation, the Declaration of Independence, the Peter Pan original manuscript, autographs from every single US president, and millions more. A true gem.

    Where else can you see such historical documents, a printing press, and so much more? Very few places allow you the privilege of sight of the treasures this place beholds.

    The Lilly Library built in 1960 has collection of 20,000 books and 17,000 manuscripts, and painting/prints.

    The Rare Books collection is generally only available to students and faculty at IU but the Lily Library offers thematic displays several times a year, generally two at once. Note that you'll need to check on their hours of operation but it is not the same as the other two nearby museums on campus. I've found the staff to be very helpful whenever I've gone to do research or to see a particular display.

    My primary experience with the Lilly Library has been through access to its archives of the original Ian Fleming manuscripts covering most of the original James Bond stories, and related materials. The organization of these and the way in which the institution makes them available to patrons is exceptional, dealing with staff always a pleasure. Highly recommended!
