In 2016, the Silverman Library's $7.2 million renovation was completed. A 2013 student survey about the library highlighted the need for more access to food, natural light, security, and power or USB ports for laptops, phones, and other electronic devices used by students. Over 200,000 books were removed to the Libraries Annex, other libraries on campus, or weeded to make room for group study rooms, study carrels, classrooms, a café, soundproof rooms, and over 1,000 power outlets. The library was closed for two years while renovations took place.




History


In 1922, Ruth Bartholomew was appointed as the first University Librarian. The library was originally located in Foster Hall but was moved to larger quarters in the second floor of Hayes Hall.
In 1929, Thomas B. Lockwood (1873–1947) donated $500,000 to the University of Buffalo for the construction of a library building. In the spring of 1935, the library was moved to the newly constructed Lockwood Memorial Library building. Designed by noted Buffalo architect E.B. Green and built in classic Georgian architectural style, the building was an elegant, four-story structure located at the heart of the South Campus. In addition to providing funds for the building, Lockwood also donated his personal collection of rare books.
On April 19, 1979, the new Lockwood Memorial Library was officially opened. Designed for the new campus in Amherst, the Lockwood Memorial Library name was to be placed on the new library in recognition of the original endowment established by Mr. Lockwood. The original Lockwood Memorial Library, renamed Charles D. Abbott Hall / Health Sciences Library, was renovated and enlarged in 1983–1985.
On June 16th, 2023, the library system announced that it received $10 million in funding towards building a James Joyce museum.
