The Monroe C. Gutman Library is the primary library for and one of four main buildings comprising the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE). It is named for its principal benefactor, investment banker and Harvard College 1905 alumnus Monroe C. Gutman (1888 - 1974) who gifted the library $1.13

Unlike other libraries on Harvard's campus, Gutman is not open 24 hours a day. The building's features include special collections, classrooms, study spaces, a conference center, computer services, bookstacks and eating commons.
