Belk Library, paperback co-op

This image shows a student holding a pile of paperback books being shelved in the paperback co-op section of the stacks in the first Belk Library in the 1970s. The paperback co-op section was comprised of donated books for users. The sign reads, "Paperback Co-op," Paperbacks do not have to be checked out, please re-shelve unborrowed books, please limit number of books borrowed at one time, please return books promptly. The paperback co-op depends upon donations--please place your donated books in the box beneath this sign." The Belk Library was completed in 1968 and opened in 1969. Belk 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.
