Bertrand Library
Bertrand Library is the library of Bucknell University. Built in 1951, it stands at the eastern end of Malesardi Quadrangle. The library, which occupies five floors, is named for Ellen Clarke Bertrand, who contributed $800,000 and a library endowment fund to the university. The building's cornerstone was laid on February 24, 1951, just under a year after ground was broken on the project. It was formally opened on September 26, 1951. On Christmas Eve 1960, a fire damaged the library's roof and clock tower; no books were lost, however, and water damage was minimal. Repairs were completed in 1961. The library is a member of the Federal Depository Library Program.
