The New "Libe"

The new library was opened on November 29, 1909. Apparently painters and carpenters were still in the building, but President Seelye said in a chapel address that “the only way to drive them out was for the college to move in.” The College’s library books had been moved from the Seelye Hall library during Thanksgiving recess. The Browsing Room and the second floor reading room were not yet completed, but the first floor reading room was furnished and open for use.
