DescriptionHwa-Wei Lee Library Annex (Southeast Ohio Regional Depository) is a 32,000 square-foot building which includes space for a reading room, processing, and library staff, as well as the capacity to store up to 750,000 bound volumes. In 1993, Libraries acquired Columbus Road building to repurpose it as the Library Annex, a remote high-density storage facility. The building has previously been a roller rink and a car dealership. The Annex opened for service in 1998 and was renamed Hwa-Wei Lee Library Annex in 1999, in honor of Dr. Lee, library dean from 1978-1999.
