Who is Harold F. Johnson, anyway?

Harold F. Johnson was an international lawyer and Amherst College alum who donated the initial $6M that funded the establishment of Hampshire College.

The library that bears his name is, like Hampshire, innovative and experimental. It contains traditional resources, but also affords access to the collections of the other members of the Five Colleges: Amherst, Mount Holyoke, Smith, and UMass Amherst (ask at the InfoBar for help borrowing from these libraries).

It also houses a lending seed library, Division III library, game library, 3-D printing and media production tools and spaces, the Seydel Reading Room, art gallery and more.

The Harold F. Johnson Library promises to be a welcoming destination as you question, conduct research, and create. We look forward to meeting you!
