History

Library in 1928

The basis for this library was established by L. W. Rogers while the organization, then called the American Theosophical Society, had headquarters in Chicago. When the Society moved to the Wheaton site in 1927, the south end of the building was designed to be a library. The Society honored Mr. Rogers in 1932 by naming it the Rogers Library.[1] The library went through several changes of name, and the building became the L. W. Rogers Building.
