图书馆的历史

我们的开始

MG冰球突破试玩书院于1959年成立, 图书馆委员会, 主席是莉莲·洛德, 图书综合收藏, 期刊, 和属于圣. Alexius School of Nursing with Priory High School’s library holdings and additional titles already acquired for the use of future Mary College students.

The Committee originally housed these materials in the high school wing of Annunciation Priory. Following the completion of Our Lady of Annunciation Chapel in 1963, the Mary College library found its first fixed home in the lower level of what later became the Benedictine Center for Servant Leadership.

稳定增长

Our staff initially consisted of one full-time clerk assisting Lord, 谁每周三天监督图书馆的运作. Sister Martha Clare Kilzer became our first full-time librarian in the fall of 1962. Her fellow sisters at Annunciation Priory provided part-time support throughout her tenure. Under Sister Martha Clare’s direction, library holdings continued to grow.

1968 saw the appointment of our first library director, Sister Marie Schuster. In 1971, Brother Paul Nyquist succeeded Sister Marie, serving for six years. Cheryl Bailey assumed the directorship in 1977; her 38-year tenure came to a close in 2015. 同年, 我们欢迎现任图书馆服务主任, 大卫·格雷, 焊工图书馆家族.

合作伙伴关系

In 1993, the University of Mary library partnered with the public libraries of Bismarck and Mandan to form the Central Dakota Library Net工作 (CDLN) and establish an exhaustive online public access catalog (OPAC). 今天，cddn由20多个地区图书馆组成.

建设

在80年代和90年代, representatives from accrediting bodies repeatedly noted significant hindrances to library accessibility, particularly the original space’s inadequate size and inconvenient location at the south end of campus. After nearly 40 years in the lower level of Annunciation Priory, the University of Mary library took permanent residence in its current home. 建于1998年, 焊工图书馆坐落在礼物山的山顶, so named in recognition of Charles “Chick” Swanson’s 1957 bequest of 40 acres to our founders, 报喜会的本笃会修女会.

奉献

The 焊机图书馆 is dedicated to the Benedictine Sisters of Annunciation Monastery and “our friend and university leader,已故的托马斯·韦尔德修女, 的OSB, “for her wisdom and leadership in growing the University of Mary.“坚定的仆人式领袖和终身学习者, Sister Thomas served as President of the University of Mary from 1978 to 2009.
