for the sequence in which Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman) waits by the fountain for Elaine Robinson (Katharine Ross), who exits the library's main door. The library's exterior entrance, rotunda and one of its halls was also used to film the library scenes in Danny DeVito's 1996 film Matilda, though the library is left nameless in the film itself. The rotunda was modified to include a large rounded reference desk and two large stacks were added to the hall used in the film.
