  • The Sheridan Libraries encompass the Milton S. Eisenhower Library and its collections at the Albert D. Hutzler Reading Room in Gilman Hall, the John Work Garrett Library at Evergreen House and the George Peabody Library at Mt. Vernon Place. In 1998 these libraries were re-dedicated as "The Sheridan Libraries" to reflect the extraordinary generosity of Mr. and Mrs. R. Champlin Sheridan. Together these collections provide the major research library resources for the university. The mission of the Sheridan Libraries is to advance research and teaching at The Johns Hopkins University by providing information resources, instruction, and services. The Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, the Whiting School of Engineering, and the School of Professional Studies in Business and Education comprise the library's primary constituency. The libraries also serve as a university-wide resource supplementing the collections of the independently-administered libraries serving the University's other schools. The Milton S.
