It was built in 1913 to house the books previously stored in University Hall. Two wings were added in 1934 and a temporary annex in 1947. The annex was removed in 1954 and the Stewart Center was built around the library in 1958. The footprint of the library is visible as the wing that extends north toward Heavilon Hall.
