History
The Merrill-Cazier Library opened its doors in September 2005. The building integrated the Cazier Science and Technology Library with a 189,000-square-foot (17,600 m2) expansion, replacing the 74-year-old Merrill Library. The library is named for Milton R. Merrill, former Utah State University vice president, and Stanford Cazier, former Utah State University president.
The original Merrill Library was built in 1930 by the Whitmeyer Company of Ogden, Utah and expanded in 1967. A second library, the Cazier Science and Technology Library, was added to campus in 1995.
The Merrill-Cazier Library recently marked its 100th anniversary as a regional United States Government document depository.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Every library should try to be complete on something, if it were only the history of pinheads.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“We aspire to be something more than stupid and timid chattels, pretending to read history and our Bibles, but desecrating every house and every day we breathe in.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
