The Michael King Smith Research Library contains more than 5,400 published aviation-related books and a large and varied collection of aviation magazines. The Library’s collection is open to both researchers and the general public.
The Library, located within the Hiller Aviation Museum, is open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 AM to 3 PM and on select Saturdays (call the Library to confirm weekend availability). Library entry is included with Museum admission. If you are unable to visit the Museum during its open hours, ask for a 'rain check' and come back when you can.
Titles in the Library’s collection include both technical works and aviation-related fiction and nonfiction books. Click below to view recent issues of Interesting Publications, a semi-annual collection of book reviews and recommendations from Library volunteers and Museum staff and docents.
