May 1, 2003

The St. Olaf libraries hosted a recognition ceremony for Forrest Brown, library director from 1961 to 1990 on May 9. Mac Gimse, professor emeritus of art, presented a sculpture to be housed in the library in honor of Forrest. A reception followed in Buntrock Commons.

During Brown?s tenure, two additions were added to Rolvaag Library, the collection more than doubled and an automated system replaced the card catalog. During that time, St. Olaf joined the Minitex interlibrary loan system, the college instituted a program of bibliographic instruction and two branch libraries were incorporated into the new music and science buildings.
