McConnell Library
Photo of the newly finished McConnell Library. The original library for Radford Normal School was in Founders Hall. By the 1930s it was obvious that a separate and larger library was needed, so McConnell Library was built. The new building was started in 1931 with a budget of $43,000 and completed during the 1931-32 year. Here we see workmen posing with furniture they are bringing inside the new McConnell Library. This photo is part of Laura Nolan's "An Illustrated History 1913-1976" of Radford College.- Creator

The Listening Room on the 4th floor of McConnell Library held the record collection and record playing equipment. Library patrons could request records be played and were able to listen to them in an adjoining room via headphones. This slide is from Laura Nolen's "An Illustrated History 1913-1976" of Radford College.- Creator

Students carrying books to the new library.
The original library for Radford Normal School was in Founders Hall. By the 1930s it was obvious that a separate and larger library was needed, so McConnell Library was built. The new building was started in 1931 with a budget of $43,000 and completed during the 1931-32 year. Students carried books into the newly constructed building as can be seen in this photo, which is part of Laura Nolan's "An Illustrated History 1913-1976" of Radford College.- Creator
