Expanded from a room within the Seminary to a multilevel complex, the Library at Mount Holyoke College has been an integral part of academic life since 1837. From 1837 to 1870, the Mount Holyoke Library existed in a room in the original Seminary building. In 1870, the Library was housed in a separate building and the first full-time librarian was employed. In 1905 the College obtained an Andrew Carnegie grant and raised matching funds to build a new, larger library building and in 1917 it was named the Williston Memorial Library. An addition to the building was added in 1935 and a renovation was completed in 1968. Another building expansion took place in 1992. There have been many internal changes such as the automation of the library catalog, the reclassification of the collection, and the formal establishment of a "College History" (later Archives) collection. In 1996, the Mount Holyoke College Library became part of the Library, Information, and Technology Services (LITS) group, formed to combine library, computing, language, media resources, and electronic services into one unit. Through these internal and external changes, the Library has employed five College Librarians: Mary O. Nutting (1870-1901), Bertha E. Blakely (1901-1936), Flora Belle Ludington (1936-1964), Anne C. Edmonds (1964-1994), Susan Perry (1994-2001) and Patricia Albanese (2002- ).
