Design Library History

Harrye B. Lyons Design Library
The Harrye B. Lyons Design Library is located in Brooks Hall, now part of the College of Design.
Brooks Hall was originally built to be the library on campus, D.H. Hill Library.
The Design Library inhabits the space that was the original reading room of D.H. Hill Library. This first image
is Brooks Hall being finished in 1926. |

This image below is the Reading Room as it looked in about 1928; this space is now the Design Library. If you look at the
banner at the top of this website, you can see another image of the skylights. As this was the Reading Room, there
are no bookstacks; they were in other parts of the building. |

|
The School of Design was founded in 1948, and the Design Library was later named for
Mrs. Harrye B. Lyons, who was the Design Librarian and headed the Design Library from 1948 to 1968.
This image below is a later image of Brooks Hall, about 1940, with the landscaping finished. |
