Belk Library, clearance desk, circa 1975

This image shows a library employee checking to make sure a book was checked out by the student before leaving the first Belk Library in the 1970s. She can be seen sitting at a desk looking at the back cover of the book while the student watches on the left. The sign on the desk reads, "All books and materials must be presented at this desk... clearance." 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.
