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

McConnell Library Card Catalog
McConnell Library Card Catalog

In each drawer of the catalog was a group of index cards with call number, title, author, and several bits of cataloging information about the book represented by the card. Patrons would look up a book in the catalog to find the call number so they could go to the book stacks to obtain the book. -
