Title

Belk Library, information desk, circa 1975

Description

This image shows a student speaking with library employee Mrs. Elizabeth "Libby" Williams, wife of Dr. Cratis Williams, Dean of the Graduate School, at the Information Desk in the first Belk Library in the 1970s. The stacks can be seen in the background. The Belk Library was completed in 1968 and opened in 1969. It served as the main campus library until 2005, when it was replaced by the newly constructed Belk Library and Information Commons. It was then known as the Library Classroom Building and in 2009 was rededicated as Anne Belk Hall.
