Libraries

We have two libraries to serve you:
Rose & Tower Barracks

Your friendly USAG Bavaria librarians are here to help you find your next favorite book, movie or game. Your library card is your ticket to amazing resources at the library and online. Stop by to learn more.

Need a library card? Visit your local library during business hours.

 

Use the library's online resource tool called Chilton Library!

It features repair, service and maintenance information on cars, trucks, vans and SUVs.
When you are ready to work on your car, make an appointment at your USAG Bavaria Automotive Skills Centers.

  • Visit: http://mwrlibrary.armybiznet.com
  • Choose: "My Account"
  • Enter: Your web login and PIN
  • Select: "Online Resources," scroll down (in alphabetical order) and click on "Chilton Library."

You can use this feature on any personal device at home or at the Automotive Skills Centers.
