McLure Library is one of the University’s most historic buildings. Built in 1925, for years the building housed the student cafeteria, post office, and supply store. During that time, it housed a soda fountain, a favorite campus gathering place. After World War II, the third floor was used for several years as a dorm for male students. The building was remodeled in 1954 for the education library. In 1975, the building was named in honor of John Rankin McLure, dean of the College of Education from 1942-1959. The Library recieved a major renovation in 2025 for the School of Library and Information Studies.
McLure Library is located on University Boulevard near Bryant-Denny Stadium.
