The first library director, Arthur E. Nelson, was appointed by Dr. Pfau in 1963. Nelson began accumulating materials in a local warehouse and by 1965 had 50,000 books to move into Sierra Hall, one of the first (multipurpose) buildings on the campus. In 1968, construction began on the current library building which was occupied in 1971. Later on, a new wing was added which was completed in 1994.[2]
