Blough-Weis Library

Blough-Weis Library, Susquehanna University, Universities & colleges, Roger M. Blough Learning Center, Libraries

Built in 1928, the University's Library has seen its share of changes but some things remain the same. This 1951 article from the school newspaper attempts to uncover the secrets the Library holds. Please note the 3:00 observation of a request for help with an assignment due in just twenty minutes. Times (and students) haven't changed!

The original Library building was constructed in 1928. Due to the increasingly large book collection and the need for more study space, an addition was built on the south side of the building in 1958. This image shows the University Library as it appeared in 1959. As noted in the previous image of Roger M. Blough, the Library was later named the Roger M. Blough Learning Center in appreciation of his contribution to the 1972 expansion.

The Library was built in 1928. By 1956 a new addition to it was needed for its growing book collections and the increasing student body. On the front page of the 1956 Susquehanna Alumnus, the Library announces plans to expand its building. In time for the Susquehanna University Centennial, the Library had its additional space built onto the south side of the Library.
