The Art Students League's art library is a non-circulating collection built by the donations of generations of artists. Its special strengths include instructional texts on various artistic media, manuals on artists' materials, and books written by and about League artists.

The library is located between the second and third floors and is open to League students, members, and instructors. Researchers are welcome by appointment.
