Belk Library, first, circa 1979

This image shows the front entrance of the first Belk Library from the south in the late 1970s. Students can be seen sitting on the stone walls, and the windmill that stood on Howard's Knob from 1979 to 1983 is 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 is now known as the Library Classroom Building.
