One report shows the library had only 325 volumes in 1925. The present library building was occupied in March of 1968. The task of moving the 98,000 volumes from the old library to the new was accomplished, in large part, by students, faculty and staff, who formed a human conveyor belt, passing books and other materials to their new home. The architect for the present building was Nils Schweizer, Frank Lloyd Wright's on-site supervisor for several Florida Southern College buildings, and a student of Mr. Wright at Taliesin. Florida Southern College is indebted to Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Timanus Roux, one time trustees of the College, and other members of the family, as major benefactors of the Roux Library on both its Lakeland campus sites.
