Welcome to the Harold James Memorial Library

\| Meet our staff \| View Library Research Resources \| MMA Gift Book Program \| The Harold James Memorial Library serves as a resource center for the Marine Military Academy educational program and is a nucleus for academic activities. The Library consists of the following: Main Reading Room \| The Marion L. Gary Learning Center \| The Brooks Reading Room \| The Padilla Reference Room
The library serves the Cadets and staff during all academic hours including evening study times. The library was dedicated in memory of Harold James in September of 1993, by his wife Mitzi James. Harold James was a top-notch rancher and American Patriot who believed in the future - especially the future of young people.
	The Main Reading Room The main reading room of the library provides twelve computers for researching material, thirty study carousels and a media collection of eighteen thousand volumes for Cadet and staff use. The computers are equipped with an on-line catalog and access to the Internet providing up-to-date reference resources including newspapers, magazines, research databases, and much more. Click on the Library Research Resources link to view a full list of available databases.
The Marion L. Gary Learning Center The Marion L. Gary Learning Center provides computers which have the capability of word processing and access to the Library Research Resources web link. The Learning Center is dedicated in honor of Mrs. Marion L. Gary who was the first librarian at the Marine Military Academy and the wife of Capt. Bill Gary, the founder of the Academy.
	Brooks Reading Room The Brooks Reading Room is a designated area in the library for pleasure reading. Comfortable red leather chairs, magnificent art work, and leather bound classic books reflect a tranquil atmosphere. This room was dedicated in memory of Ambassador Oliver Newberry Brooks by his wife and children. Libraries were extremely meaningful to Ambassador Newberry; therefore, his family wanted all Cadets to experience this atmosphere.
Padilla Reference Room The Padilla Reference Room is the home for our unique military collection which includes personal biographies, memoirs and the history of battles from wars past. This room was dedicated in honor of Alvin G. and Mary F. Padilla by the Alvin G. Padilla Jr. family. Mr. And Mrs. Alvin Padilla believed that industry and education were keys to a better life.
