Welcome to the Friends of the Air Force Academy Library web site. Our mission is to enhance the quality of the Academy’s McDermott Library, enabling it to acquire materials, pursue projects, and broaden its scope and activities beyond those made possible by Air Force allocated funds.

We invite you to explore our site, learning about our activities and viewing the contents of some databases and collections that provide insight into the contributions of Academy graduates and the evolution of manned flight and military air power.

Please visit Supporting The Friends to see how you can join us in service to the Academy’s McDermott Library.

Learn how to become a Research Fellow in the McDermott Library.
