Belk Library, administration, circa 1975

This image shows four faculty and administrative members of Appalachian State University (1967-current) standing in the first Belk Library in the 1970s. Visible are Dean of the Graduate School and folklorist Cratis Williams (Dean of the Graduate School), Dean of Learning Resources Al Corum, Curator of the Appalachian Collection Charlotte Ross, and University President William Howard Plemmons (1955-1969). 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.
