During the past year the library has hosted several
art exhibits. The first included sixteen watercolors,
a few of which are pictured above, by Richard Van
Wagoner. Many of the exhibits were under the
auspices of the old Bergen Art Guild of Bayonne,
New Jersey. Other exhibits included paintings by
Avery Johnson and Henry Gasser. The paintings
were displayed in the newly completed listening area.
The reference room of the library is a familiar sight to
the many Ambrosians who have suffered through many
volumes for a term paper or research paper. The library has
undergone many changes within the past three years. Built
in 1941 by the Friends of St. Ambrose, the building serves as
an administration center for the college as well as a library.
Each year the library adds nearly 4,000 volumes to its
approximately 38,000.
