The
William Logan Library is named for William M. Logan who was a Presbyterian
minister and Chair of the Board of Trustees from 1955-1972. A Presbyterian
pastor in Kerrville in 1950 when he was first appointed to the Board,
he later served as a pastor in San Antonio, Austin, and Brownwood. His
portrait hangs in the main part of the Library.
Logan
Library's current 34,000 square feet began with an original building
of 7,000 square feet. Designed by Ford, Powell and Carson, Inc.
of San Antonio, the $5.5 million expansion was completed in 1985
by wrapping new construction completely around the original library.
Today, Logan Library houses over 83,000 volumes and provides Internet
access from 25 workstations. Students find quiet contemplation
in private study rooms and classes often take advantage of two
multimedia machines as well as the 12 computer workstations in
the Sun Porch Electronic Classroom. Prior to 1967, the Library
was housed in the Tom Murray Building, built in 1940.
The
Grand Hall was completed in 1992 with funds provided by the Fish
Foundation. The tapestry hanging in the Hall is 5 by 15 feet and
was created by Becky Patterson. Based on Psalm 8, it offers Hill
Country representations of Adam, Eve, and the Peaceable Kingdom.
