In 1973, the Levy Library was officially dedicated to Gustave and Janet Levy, whose remarkable contributions helped shape Mount Sinai’s academic mission. By 1975, the reference deck had become a bustling hub of knowledge—card catalogs, reference desks, and quiet study corners were the tools of the time.
The 1980s brought rapid transformation. From the circulation desk that served as the heart of the library to the innovative Mediagraphies displays in 1981, Levy was constantly evolving. By mid-decade, dedicated staff were pushing forward new ways to support Mount Sinai’s academic needs. And in 1987, the debut of AV samples and the first computer menus marked the beginning of our digital future.
As we celebrate #LevyLibrary50, we’re also recognizing National Library Week, honoring the legacy and ongoing impact of libraries as essential spaces for discovery, community, and lifelong learning.
