Love Library continued to grow its collection until, once again, it could no longer accommodate the need for more volumes. An addition on the north side of the library was completed in 1968, resulting in its current (as of 2012) layout.

A copy of The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer dating from 1542 was donated to the Library in 1971 by Johnny Johnsen in celebration of the Library's acquisition of its millionth volume. The two millionth volume added to Love Library was an extremely rare copy of Shakespeare's First Folio (1623). It was donated in 1991 by Sidney Johnsen Wayland, daughter of the donor of the Library's one millionth volume. The 3 millionth volume added to Love Library is a first edition of Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass, published in 1855. It is one of only 200 remaining copies in existence. To read more about the acquisition of this volume by the library, here is an article from the Lincoln Journal Star about it. (click to open)
