The Adam and Sophie Gimbel Design Library was the visual arts library of The New School. Used primarily by students in the Parsons division of The New School, it was located in the Sheila Johnson Design Center, in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City.
Prior to the merging of Parsons with The New School of Social Research in 1970,[1] the library had gone by the name Parsons Design Library. In 1972, the library was renamed after donor Adam Gimbel, and in 1982 there was a re-dedication ceremony to honor both Adam and his wife Sophie.[2] The library was closed on December 20, 2013,[3] when New School opened a new library facility located on the 6th floor of 63 Fifth Avenue.[4]
