Posted Oct 30, 2018
If you’ve ever wandered through the quad, you’ve passed by the grand limestone building that is Wilson Library. Completed in 1929, Wilson Library is named after the renowned researcher and librarian, Louis Round Wilson. Born in 1876, Wilson grew up in Lenoir, North Carolina, and graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill in 1899. He became Carolina’s librarian two years later. (UNC.edu)
