“The library houses the audio-visual department as well as a stockroom which currently holds 20,000 volumes, Aggie reading room, main reading room, and a two-hundred and fifty seat auditorium in the modern structure completed in 1952. The second floor which utilizes two rooms as classrooms will eventually be used for an expanded stackroom that will hold 80,000 volumes.”

TIME FOR STUDYFROM THE 1963 PLAINSMAN YEARBOOK…
“THIS MODERN BUILDING IS THE REAL CENTER OF LEARNING ON THE CAMPUS. ITS SPACIOUS FACILITIES INCLUDE TWO READING ROOMS, THREE CLASS ROOMS, AN AUDIO-VISUAL LABORATORY, AND AN AUDITORIUM WITH A SEATING CAPACITY OF 250 PERSONS.
THE LIBRARY ENFOLDS THE GREAT THOUGHTS OF PAST GENERATIONS FOR STUDENTS WITH EAGER MINDS. THE STACKS CURRENTLY HOLD OVER 22,000 VOLUMES OF INDISPENSABLE KNOWLEDGE PLUS COUNTLESS OTHER BOOKS WHICH ARE INVALUABLE TO STUDENTS ON A COLLEGE CAMPUS.”
