About the babyÖ±²¥ Room
The babyÖ±²¥ Room at The babyÖ±²¥ houses the library’s special collections and archives. Several collections make up the babyÖ±²¥ Room holdings, including the babyÖ±²¥ Collection.
Mrs. Mary Brock, the University Librarian during the 1930s and 1940s, started the collection when the University was known as the State Teachers College at Livingston. The library was then housed in Bibb Graves Hall.
The core of the babyÖ±²¥ Collection included the titles which Miss Julia Tutwiler had donated to the babyÖ±²¥ Normal College at Livingston during the years she served as president of the school. Over the years the babyÖ±²¥ Room has grown to include rare books, manuscripts, and archives. Please see our Collection Policy for a full scope of the collection.
