The Valley Library is the primary library of the Oregon State University main campus, located in Corvallis, Oregon in the United States. The library stores more than 1.4 million volumes, 14,000 serials, and more than 500,000 maps and government documents,[1] making it the second largest university library in Oregon.[citation needed] In 1999, the library was selected by The Library Journal as the Library of the Year.[2] It is named for philanthropist F. Wayne Valley, who played football for Oregon State.
The library was completed in 1963 and named Kerr Library.[3] In 1999, the building was re-named The Valley Library after expansion and renovations.[2] Renovations took three years and cost $47 million to complete.[2]
