The Library at The Yale club

A tranquil oasis in the heart of Midtown

With its gold coffered ceiling and handsome, comfortable spaces, this active lending library offers a tranquil haven for when you want to read or study, browse through a magazine, or use the Club's wi-fi. The Library also holds a selection of financial and legal reference books, newspapers, and popular periodicals. For parents visiting with young ones, there is even a collection of children's books.

Meeting Space

In the cozy, mahogany-paneled Clarence Day Room, you'll find a collection of Yale memorabilia (class books, reunion books, Yale Alumni Magazine). Members can also rent this space for groups of up to eight by contacting the Librarian at 212.716.2129 or emailing [email protected].
