History
The building was designed by Paul Thiry and completed in 1967.[1] The library doubled in size during renovations completed in the mid-1990s by Hoffman Construction.[2][3]
In 2016, a copy of the 1599 Geneva Bible was rediscovered in the library's basement.[4]
Special collections
Since 2001, the library has housed the literature of the Lewis and Clark Expedition collection in a special collections facility. The William Stafford Archive was established in the special collections in 2008.[2]
