It was constructed in 1968 and named in honor of President Emeritus Bruce E. Whitaker and his wife Esther, faculty emeritus. The library houses a substantial collection of learning resources as well as a number of special collections, including the Baptist collection, the Instructional Materials Center, and items of historical interest to Chowan University and northeastern North Carolina. The building was renovated in 2011.
