Named for Mills B. Lane, prominent Savannah-Atlanta banker, philanthropist,
and an early patron of the University, Lane Library was built in 1966 and
extensively expanded in 1975. Through its collections and array of
services, Lane Library supports the academic programs of the University and
the library and information needs of AASU students, faculty, and staff.
Library collections include more than 200,000 books; almost 1,200
newspaper, journal, magazine, and other periodical subscriptions; and
18,000 audiovisual titles encompassing such media formats as compact
discs, videocassettes, DVD's, and educational software. Special
collections include University Archives and the Florence Powell Minis
Collection, which contains published materials of local history and
regional interest, and first editions of books by Conrad Aiken and other
Savannah writers.
The library was completely re-modeled and re-dedicated in 2006.
