The Lee Renaud Memorial Library

The Lee Renaud Memorial Library, located just off the main gallery, contains over 4,000 books, around 475 magazine titles, and around 250 newsletter titles related to model aviation, full-scale aviation, and aviation history. Visitors are welcome to use the library for research during the museum’s operating hours. A coin-operated copy machine is available. Depending on schedules and timing, staff may be available to answer questions and provide assistance. No materials cannot be taken out of the Museum/Library.

For these rare or delicate materials, accessiblity is through request Monday - Friday, 8:00 am - 4:30 pm when staff are available. To verify whether or not the magazine, newsletter, or book you are looking for is in a restricted location, please contact museum staff. You do not need to make an appointment for this research on weekdays, but calling ahead will save you time and give staff time to prepare materials for you. For weekend access, please make arrangements with Jackie at (765) 287-1256 ext. 511 or . Materials will be made available via the store for in-house checkout; have proper ID on-hand.

If you are researching a specific topic, but cannot get to the Museum, you may request that staff research for you.
Things to keep in mind:
• We prefer you submit the request in writing. You may e-mail either ') or ').
• Please be as specific as possible as to your topic and what you are looking for.
• We do charge an hourly research fee for staff time spent researching. This fee is in addition to any copy fees incurred. 

The media room has a worktable, as well as a TV and DVD/VCR to play available films.

The most common magazines are accessible in the library proper in bound form. For other magazines, staff assistance is needed to retrieve them from our special collections/library storage area.
