Biographical / Historical
The university library was first housed in Old Main until it was moved to a new building in 1930. In 1958 a new library building was purposed to accommodate the need for more space. The building was dedicated in 1967 and named after long-time USU administrator Milton R. Merrill. In the early 2000’s the Merrill library was demolished and a new library was built on to the existing Cazier Science and Technology Library, named after former USU president Stanford Cazier. The library was renamed the Merrill-Cazier library and opened in 2005. For more information see http://exhibits.usu.edu/exhibits/show/merrillcazierlibrary/oldmainlibrary .
