Rebecca Crown Library 50th Anniversary - Dominican University

On Tuesday, April 11, 1972, the Rebecca Crown Library at Dominican University officially opened. Often referred to as "the heart of campus," the Rebecca Crown Library has undergone many changes since 1972, such as moving the library school from the lower level to the third floor and the recent renovations of creating the student-centered Learning Commons. These renovations to the building's original design and function have demonstrated time and again that the Rebecca Crown Library, at its core, has always been a community-focused library.

We are excited to announce that 2022 is the 50th anniversary of the Rebecca Crown Library's opening and dedication! The current Rebecca Crown Library staff and faculty are thrilled and honored to celebrate this milestone. As part of the anniversary festivities, the Library is hosting several events and programs that highlight the construction, history, and future of the library building, and honor the many students and employees who have brought the space to life over the years.
