New library wired for future challenges
In 1983, when the Board of Trustees honored Penn State football Coach Joseph
V. Paterno for leading the Nittany Lions to their first national football championship,

-- Penn State's libraries. He urged the trustees to make Penn State number one
in academics as well as athletics, saying, "You can't have a great university
without a great library."
