We are officially moved into the new library, readying ourselves to open for business on July 27, 2009. As we move to the new library we move to a new named building: the library is called the William H. Hannon Library. Here is an impressive tidbit about William H. Hannon, as gathered from the Foundation Web site:
With no money for a college education, William and his mother asked the President of Loyola University if they would admit him with the intention that William would pay back the school for his education once he got a job. William’s college education began on a handshake deal that would result in his lifelong dedication and support of his alma mater.
Read more about him in an exhibition description from the LMU Library Web site.
