Hesburgh Library opened on September 18, 1963, and was dedicated in May 7, 1964. On September 20, 2013, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Hesburgh Library, the University of Notre Dame launched a year-long celebration framed by these two significant dates. The campus-wide inaugural event was held from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the Hesburgh Library Concourse immediately preceding the Michigan State football game pep rally. Hundreds of Notre Dame faculty, students, alumni and friends attended the event which featured live music by Oblates of Blues, sweets courtesy of Au Bon Pain, digital and physical exhibits, commemorative keepsakes and more.

A formal ceremony featured words of reflection and renewal offered by Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., Notre Dame's president; Thomas G. Burish, University provost; and Diane Parr Walker, Edward H. Arnold University Librarian. This campus-wide celebration launched the first of many events that took place throughout the year. In collaboration with partners from across the University, the Hesburgh Libraries co-sponsored over 50 events and shared well over 50 stories mission of "connecting people to knowledge" and the vital contributions the Libraries have made to the advancement of Notre Dame, its faculty, students and alumni.
