Library Administration, circa 1970, photo 2
Description
This image shows five men standing outside the first Belk Library at Appalachian State University (1967-current) in the 1970s. Dean of Learning Resources Al Corum can be seen standing second on the left, on the far left is Mr. Zeb Shook University Order Librarian. The man on the right can be seen writing on a notepad, and University Librarian Richard Barker can be seen partially obscured on the right. 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. The University Bookstore, built 1969, can be seen in the background.

The man on the right is David Gaston and not Bruce Boyle as I had earlier indicated.

Actually, the man on the right is Mr. Lewis Gaston who is a member of the University News Bureau; David Gaston is his brother. On the far left is Mr. Zeb Shook, University Order Librarian.
