Library opened to reveille
Reveille was at 6: 12 a.m. At 10:30 p.m,
the day closed with "taps" resounding
from the halls of Don L. Love Memorial
Library. '
Rather than containing rows of books,
from 1943 to 1945 Love Library housed
rowsot beds.
Army Specialized Training Student
Units moved into the newly constructed
building at its completion in 1943,
according to Joseph Svoboda, UNL
archivist.
At the close of World War II, shelves
and books replaced army bunks and the
building was opened to students and
faculty as the new library.
That was 34 years after planning for the
library began.
Hans for a new library were discussed as
early as 1911 when librarians thought
Library Hall (now Architectural Hall) no
longer could accommodate the University
of Nebraska's book collection, Svoboda
said.
Because of lack of space, the library
stored over half of its boob stock in
twenty-three locations on campus. -
Library Hall lacked not only shelf space,
but also seating space, Svoboda said. The
building had a seating capacity of 400 for a
student body of 5,000.
Along with crowded conditions, Library
Flail suffered from a leaking room and
sagging beams.
The need for .a new library was given
formal recognition in 1940 when the NU
Board of Regents announced their decision
to build Love library. Construction began
in April 1941.
