Holman Library History

Holman Library is named after the "father" of Green River College, Hayes Holman, former Superintendent of the Auburn School District. 

The Library first opened in 1965, the same year Green River moved to its present site. Then in January 1997, the library moved into the new Holman Library Building, our present location. The old library building was renovated for classroom use and renamed the Rutkowski Learning Center.
