Library at the heart of UPEI’s last 50 years—and its future
“It’s not an accident the library was one of the first major capital construction projects after UPEI came into being,” said University Librarian Donald Moses, sitting at his desk in the Robertson Library. A broad window overlooks a courtyard where students come and go.
“It was a huge priority for our first president, Ron Baker, because he knew the library is the heart of any university. It was true 50 years ago, and it’s true today.”
