The Library
Over 3,000 volumes of military history and reference books are featured in the
Corps Center library. Some are first editions, others are leather bound sets. Besides
donating actual books, monetary donations are used to purchase new books from a prepared
list compiled by the Texas A&M history department. The room is decorated with
beautiful artifacts from A&M's military past.
In addition to the books, the library displays three commemorative swords, (Sam Houston, Jim Bowie, and Col. Travis), twelve decorative dinner plates with pictures of A&M buildings and hand-crafted brass miniature cannons. The library also has a large collection of the A&M yearbook "Aggieland" and a reception desk for visitors.
This beautiful room is used for more then just research and quiet study however.
Organizations hold small bible studies and meetings in the library. When a larger meeting
place is needed organizations often reserve the Corps Center's large Dashiell room or even
the great hall.
If you are interested in reserving the Corps Center library or in donating money or books to the Corps Center library, then contact us at webmaster@corps.tamu.edu or call (979) 862-2862.
