The Frank Melville Jr. Memorial Library is the main library at Stony Brook University. Originally constructed in 1962 as a modest sized three-story building, it was renovated almost immediately and greatly expanded and re-dedicated in 1967. It holds more than 2.1 million bound volumes and over four million rolls of microfilm. The building consists of six floors, and is located on the Academic Mall of the university. The Library also contains offices for different academic departments, as well as classrooms, computer labs, a career center and a bookstore.
It is named for the father of philanthropist Ward Melville.
