Fort Bragg  Morale, Welfare and Recreation

Get to know the Army general libraries. You will find something for soldiers and families in all locations and military stages. There are 62 libraries across seven countries with physical collections in all formats. They support professional, educational and recreational reading.

Installation libraries play an important role for soldiers. They offer technical publications to support job requirements and career development. Soldiers can earn college degrees and certifications, update promotion packages, prepare for transition or retirement and more. Computers are available for completing training or personal education.

These libraries are also a “community couch” with programming, study and meeting spaces. There is something for everyone, including book clubs, story times and walks, game and movie nights. A themed summer reading program provides family fun. Evening and weekend hours accommodate busy schedules.

Makerspaces are now available in many Army libraries. All ages can explore and enjoy science, technology, engineering, the arts and mathematics.

Soldiers and their dependents who are deployed or in remote locations can use the Army MWR Library Online. It offers a wide variety of electronic databases and downloadable content. Contact your installation library for questions about registration. If you’re not near an installation library, contact usarmy.mwr.library@mail.mil.

All Defense Department service members and their families can also use the online DOD MWR Libraries. The libraries have a wide range of online resources for children and adults. Access free tutoring, finance and language classes, career transition assistance, car care advice, legal forms and much more.

  • Per Fort Bragg Regulation 600-8-101, paragraph 3-1a, 21 JAN 2016, no soldier owing debts to the U.S. Government or its instrumentalities will be cleared for departure until either the debts are paid or the Soldier’s unit commander and the local finance officer are notified. All items on the sponsor account, as well as each family member account, must be returned to the library prior to clearing. If an item has been lost, damaged, or destroyed, please see Fines & Fees above, to find out what needs to happen in order to remove the item from your account. This same regulation, paragraph 3-1j, requires that soldiers out-process in duty uniform which meets the standards prescribed in AR 670-1. Physical training garments are not duty uniforms.
