History
The North Hall is the second building on BCC's campus to be known as the library location. It had an official ribbon cutting ceremony on September 21, 2012.
The Gould Memorial library is from NYU's previous occupation on this campus. It is recognizable by the rotunda dome, and is currently used as an event space.
When Bronx Community College began operations on this campus around 1973, Meister Hall was used as the main library facility. With the collection and needs expanding, Sage Hall was used eventually to house the Gerald S. Lieblich Learning Resource Center that acted as a support for the main library and other department's needs. This is mentioned in a printed handbook history written by Professor Annette Peretz.
