Description
The Don Love Memorial Library on the University of Nebraska at Lincoln campus is the second Library at UNL. Don Love, a Lincoln banker, lawyer, and twice the city mayor, gifted the University with $850,000 to construct a new library. Love Library was completed in 1943 but was used as a living space for the cadets in the Army Specialized Training program until 1945 when it finally opened as a library.
An addition in 1972 replaced the original north side entry but the south façade with its beautiful gardens, shown here, is original.
The cupola atop the library has become a downtown Lincoln icon.
