Phoenix-like Library Emerges From Old Auditorium Rubble
February 1917 marked a dramatic rebuilding as the new library rises atop the same walls.

The Randolph geological collection and magazine vault occupy the middle and northwest rooms, while a book hospital restores damaged volumes to usable condition.
