3 CommentsAlthough Halloween is dead and gone, spooky vibes continue to surround us– especially in Lehman. Barnard’s dying library continually leaves students feeling uncomfortable and nervous. If you’re too scared to go inside and look for yourself, you can check out these photos, provided by brave Bwogger Amara Banks, instead.
-
- The floors on the second and third levels look pretty creepy. Bookshelves used to fill these rooms, but as the library’s death approaches, they have been stripped of their books and removed from Lehman.
-
- In its place, we get folding chairs and eerie rectangles.
-
- Not sure what used to be here, but its remains are horrifying.
-
- The shelves that did make the cut did not get to keep their books, teasing us with the fruit of knowledge that could have been.
-
- There used to be a door handle here? Or maybe an actual door and not just a slab of wood?
-
- More knobless doors…
-
- A creepy cage on the third floor. The sign says “STAFF ONLY,” but since a number of door knobs are missing from Lehman, the sign might as well say “COME IN.”
-
- A graveyard for electronics made before 2005(!!)
-
- And they say technology will never die…
-
- An abandoned office with nothing left behind except a Frozen poster. Spooky.
-
- And finally, an ominous wall of boobs.
-
- We end this gallery with a photo of an epitaph for the beloved Lehman.

@Anonymous Hopefully the new Barnard library will be nice.
(Even though they made the tone-deaf decision to have fewer stacks and more discussion space, apparently because someone decided women like to talk more than read, and so deserves higher priority)
Sad as these photos are, the library itself was barely better than a typically-funded municipal public library in terms of setup. Barnard can do better, and should, and needs to. Given the protest-culture on campus, it’s hard to imagine why this hasn’t come up before.
@hmmm Bwog definitely focuses excessively on Barnard these days.
@libby stax barnard. library. in. lehman. hall. lehman library is at sipa. also the building may be “dying” but the people in the library—librarians, students, IMATS, circ desk, etc.—are all still there!!! plus they have nice bean bag chairs now but you didn’t take a picture of them but that’s ok bwog we still love you
