The Elmer Holmes Bobst Library (/bbst/ BOHBST), often referred to simply as Bobst Library or just Bobst, is the main library at New York University (NYU) in Lower Manhattan, New York City. The library is located at 70 Washington Square South between LaGuardia Place and the Schwartz pedestrian plaza, across from the southeast corner of Washington Square Park and next to Gould Plaza.

Opened on September 12, 1973, Bobst Library is named after its benefactor, Elmer Holmes Bobst, who gave US$11.5 million[1] toward its completion. Bobst – a philanthropist who made his money in the pharmaceutical industry,[2] and a confidant of U.S. President Richard Nixon[3] – was a long-time trustee at New York University.
