Room to think
A tale told in photos: Thompson Library welcomes Buckeyes from morning to night.
If Ohio Stadium is our ’Shoe, we can consider Thompson Library our thinking cap. After all, this home on the Oval helps us learn, investigate and contemplate, usually for longer than the day’s light lasts. The library’s magic is in how it can be whatever Buckeyes need — contemporary or traditional, elegant or functional, a place to work alone or together.
