Collections in chemistry, physics, botany, geology, zoology and bacteriology were created as early as 1888. This photograph shows the library in Burton Hall in 1934.
When the collections were merged in 1965, the Science Library was housed in Sabin-Reed Hall. In 1991, the
Science Library moved into Bass Hall and was named for benefactors Anita O'K.and Robert R. Young.
