History
Construction began on the Iowa State College Library in April of 1923, at an estimated cost of $400,000. The Library collections had previously been first stored in Old Main for 23 years, moved to Morrill Hall, and then transferred to Beardshear Hall for the last 10 years before completion of the Library.
