Thank you for your interest in the Pritzker Military Library. We have a remarkable collection of books, videos, posters, uniforms, and more that tell the incredible story of the Citizen Soldier in American history, and we’re proud to be able to share it with you. Our library and gallery are free and open to the public during the week, so we’re always ready for your visit – please stop in whenever you’re in the neighborhood, and enjoy a few hours browsing our collection.
