of the Year |

State's Renne Library was named the Montana Library
of the Year by the Montana Library Association.
The award honors the recently renovated library
that was transformed from 1950's sterility to a
pleasant, contemporary space during a three-year,
$8.3 million renovation project. The library update
was accomplished while the library remained open.
MSU Library Dean Bruce Morton commends staff and
students who endured "drilling, screeching, dragging,
pounding, whirring, humming, blowing and, occasionally,
burning" during the renovation. MSU alumni are invited
to check out the improvements in the library, which
was originally built in 1948 with an addition in
1961 to accommodate a student population one-half
of today's 12,000 student enrollment. |
