  • THE BRIEF HISTORY of the WVU LIBRARIES from 1931 Mildred Moyers
    Library History University Libraries 6-6-1999 THE BRIEF HISTORY OF THE WVU LIBRARIES FROM 1931 Mildred Moyers Follow this and additional works at: https://researchrepository.wvu.edu/lib-history Part of the Other History Commons THE BRIEF HISTORY OF THE WVU LIBRARIES FROM 1931 Compiled by Mildred Moyers with research assistance from Marianne Courtney Wise Library Morgantown, West Virginia 27 June 1994 Revised 9 June 1999 OVERVIEW From the fall of 1902 until the fall of 1931, the Library was located in a grey sandstone Romanesque style building which was as nearly as possible in the center of the University campus. It soon became evident that this library building did not adequately meet the needs of a good library. The site and style of the building made expansion virtually impossible without prohibitive costs; therefore, after only twenty-nine years in the building, another library building was built and the old library building was destined to become the present Stewart Hall and house the administrative offices for the University. As early as 1929, University President John Roscoe Turner and other supporters saw the need for library improvements. Funds allocated for a new library building amounted to only $300,000; therefore, officials decided to "adopt a design permitting additions in future years. The first Library unit thus was planned as a three-story structure with space for 350,000 volumes and seating for 430 students." According to the Morgantown Post on June 28, 1929, the new library would eventually have an extension of the central tower to seven full stories or 14 bookstack stories, capacity to house one million volumes, and seating for 840 students.

As a commuter student at West Virginia University, you will likely face greater challenges than those first-year students who reside in the University residence halls. Many of you will try to balance coursework with a job, home life, and social life. While you may find this transition difficult, Commuter Student Programs at West Virginia University can help you transition into a successful WVU student. We provide commuters with a lounge on the Downtown campus, which is a great place to hang out between classes and meet other commuters like you. We also hold much of our programming in the Commuter Lounge, including social events such as parties, and academic events, such as the Term Paper Clinic and Center for Writing Excellence presentations. We also have a second Commuter Lounge on the Evansdale campus, conveniently located in Mountaineer Station at the base of Health Sciences PRT station. Transportation and parking are also issues of concern for commuters, which is why Commuter Student Programs provides students with the most up-to-date parking and traffic information via the website, which is located at http://studentlife.wvu.edu/commuter_student_programs. Whether you are living with your parents and driving to campus or living in an apartment off-campus, it is a great idea to come up with a plan for parking before the semester begins. There are many parking options but limited spaces, so if you plan to bring a car to school, consider parking as soon as possible.
