LIBRARY MILITARY RESOURCES


Of Military Interest

The Library has special collections and resources for the military members and families, from the Chief of Staff Reading List, to Military Life Collection with materials on deployment, moving, finances, and the military lifestyle. We also have a special collection Just for the Military Child.


Mission Support

The Base Library’s primary mission is to support the Mission of Malmstrom AFB, and the education of its Airmen. The Library provides technical and professional publications along with other mission related resources either in print or electronically.
Units wishing to order materials must complete a Publication Request form. If your unit does not have an Office Reference Library, a POC needs to be appointed on the Appointment of POC for Office Library account form. If you are purchasing materials with the unit’s GPC funds, the same Publication Request Form should be used but you do not need to appoint a POC.
 
Forms are located on the S drive (10-day share) under the Library folder. Bring completed & signed forms to the Library or Email them to the Base Librarian at linda.paronto.1@us.af.mil. Any questions please call 731-2748.
