===Libraries=== {{Further|George Peabody Library}} [[File:George-peabody-library.jpg|thumb|The [[George Peabody Library]] at Johns Hopkins University]] The Johns Hopkins University Library system houses more than 3.6 million volumes<ref name="American Library Association Fact Sheet"/> and includes ten main divisions across the university's campuses. The largest segment of this system is the Sheridan Libraries, encompassing the [[Milton S. Eisenhower Library]] (the main library of the [[Homewood campus]]), the Brody Learning Commons, the Hutzler Reading Room ("The Hut") in Gilman Hall, the John Work Garrett Library at [[Evergreen House]], and the [[George Peabody Library]] at the [[Peabody Institute]] campus.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.library.jhu.edu/about.html|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120923195237/http://www.library.jhu.edu/about.html|archive-date = September 23, 2012|title = The Sheridan Libraries|access-date = March 4, 2015|website = library.jhu.edu}}</ref> The main library, constructed in the 1960s, was named for [[Milton S. Eisenhower]], former president of the university and brother of former U.S. president [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]]. The university's stacks had previously been housed in Gilman Hall and departmental libraries.<ref name="gil"/> Only two of the Eisenhower library's six stories are above ground, though the building was designed so that every level receives natural light. The design accords with campus lore that no structure can be taller than Gilman Hall, the flagship academic building. A four-story expansion to the library, known as the Brody Learning Commons, opened in August 2012. The expansion features an energy-efficient, state-of-the-art technology infrastructure and includes study spaces, seminar rooms, and a rare books collection.<ref name="JHU News Releases">{{cite web|title=Brody Learning Commons Opens at Johns Hopkins' Homewood Campus|url=http://releases.jhu.edu/2012/09/04/brody-learning-commons-opens-at-johns-hopkins-homewood-campus/|publisher=JHU|access-date=December 27, 2012|archive-date=January 28, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130128060301/http://releases.jhu.edu/2012/09/04/brody-learning-commons-opens-at-johns-hopkins-homewood-campus/|url-status=live}}</ref>
