- Power of education
- Open debate, freedom of thought, and lifelong learning

The Library is integral to the successful teaching and learning experience at VMI. We provide users with robust reference and research services, and access to a wide range of resources for use in the classroom, in cadet and faculty learning, and in research endeavors.
