North Carolina State University Libraries, Director's Office Records 1926-2013

http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/findingaids/ua012_001

The Director's office records of the North Carolina State University Libraries contain correspondence and memoranda, budget information, program and event brochures, meeting minutes and agenda, catalogs, and other items recording the administrative functions of the Libraries. The first library at North Carolina State University was a room in Holladay Hall during the early years of the institution. The library was chronically under-funded and faculty and students consistently complained about a lack of materials. The room in Holladay continued to serve as the library until the construction of a new purpose-built library building, what is now Brooks Hall. In 1954, the current building, the D.H. Hill Library Building, was opened. This building now comprises the east wing of the current structure. By the mid-1960s, the Hill building was no longer large enough, and the library space was expanded by building an 11-story book tower and connecting the original space with the former student union (now the Erdahl-Cloyd or west wing of the library). Further expansion and renovation occurred in the 1980s, culminating in 1990 with the opening of the second, or "south" bookstack tower.
