Live from AUSA at the IMCOM Booth: Delivering the Promises of the Army Family Covenant – Libraries

MWR Libraries deliver outstanding quality of life supporting education, life-long learning, mission information and leisure needs of families – and they are one of the most-used MWR programs.

The Library Program managed by the Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Command provides deployed Soldiers with reading material, audio books (Playaways) and online databases available remotely 24/7 – all great morale boosters!

“MWR Libraries are the place to be – they’re open weekends and during after-duty hours,” said Carla Pomager of FMWRC Libraries. “They offer story hours, book clubs, Internet access and so much more. Even from their home computers, Soldiers and Families can visit their library to download an audio book, read an e-book, or practice for a school test.”

MWR Libraries are the “family room” of the installations that make up the Army’s Home – a place to relax, study and play. Libraries offer interesting events for children and spouses to lighten the load and help pass the time until their loved ones return home.

MWR Libraries offer virtual library services through the General Library Information System (GLIS), http://mylibraryus.fmwr.net/ and online databases for registered users of Army OneSource https://www.myarmyonesource.com/EducationCareersandLibraries/Libraries/default.aspx?AllowSSL=true and AKO https://www.us.army.mil/suite/page/255553.
