Black n white series UCSD Geisel Library for twilight

The University of California, San Diego (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_California,_San_Diego) Library consists of the Geisel Library building and the Biomedical Library building. There are also three off-campus locations: The Scripps Archives and Library Annex (available by appointment), the Annex (collections available by request), and the UC Southern Regional Library Facility (collections available by request).

The Geisel Library building contains materials and services related to: Arts, Area Studies, Engineering, Humanities, Marine Sciences, Physical Sciences, and Social Sciences. It also contains the Mandeville Special Collections & Archives, which houses the Dr. Seuss Collection (http://libraries.ucsd.edu/collections/sca/collections/the-dr-seuss-collection.html). The Dr. Seuss Collection contains original drawings, sketches, proofs, notebooks, manuscript drafts, books, audio- and videotapes, photographs, and memorabilia. The approximately 8,500 items in the collection document the full range of Dr. Seuss's creative achievements, beginning in 1919 with his high school activities and ending with his death in 1991.

The Geisel Library building is named in honor of Audrey and Theodor Seuss Geisel (better known as Dr. Seuss) for the generous contributions they have made to the library and their devotion to improving literacy. The Geisels were long-time residents of La Jolla, where UC San Diego (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UC_San_Diego) is located.

The building is featured in the UC San Diego logo and is the most recognizable building on campus. It is located in the center of the campus with Library Walk to its south, Thurgood Marshall College (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thurgood_Marshall_College) to its West and Earl Warren College (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Warren_College) to its East.

The library first opened in 1970. It was simply called the Central Library until a renovation was completed in 1993, when it was rededicated as the University Library Building. It was renamed Geisel Library in 1995.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geisel_Library#cite_note-Library-1)
