A Brief History of the LibrariesIn 1859, the Wirt and Webster literary societies established the first library collection inside the original Old Main building of the East Alabama Male College.
Since then, Auburn University Libraries has expanded its collection to 3.2 million volumes across three library branches and continues to foster research and instruction throughout the Auburn community.
