The Library

The Edward Neisser Library is on the second floor of Erikson Institute on the northeast end of the building. Please visit us to work, study, or have a change in scenery.

PLEASE NOTE: The Edward Neisser Library space is open to Erikson-affiliated patrons only. CARLI-affiliated users interested in using our unique collections must contact us in advance to set up a research appointment. Members of the public can visit their local Chicago Public Library.
