Photograph of library storage building at Iowa State College Item Info
- Title:
- Photograph of library storage building at Iowa State College
- Date Created:
- 1941
- Description:
- Within five years of the building opening, stack space was exhausted, and the library was left looking for temporary storage space on campus. They were given space on the unfinished third floor of the Memorial Union (MU), and 40,000 volumes were soon taking up shelves there. In 1936, the books were moved to the Engineering Exhibit Hall after funding to complete the MU was obtained. The scattered collections also began seeing a rise in complaints and hampered services. A new Library Storage Building was approved by the Board, and the $9,000 structure opened in 1940. This building is now the Advanced Machinery Systems Lab.
