Adults and kids can join and they give out some great prizes when you get to the half way mark and at the end. It's something fun we can do together as a family! Join the library's email list and you will be updated on weekly activities. Free family movies, craft activities, children's story time - including special needs story time, homework help, resume reviews, and books clubs don't even touch the surface of all the things this library has to offer. Also, be on the lookout for the book sales they hold a few times throughout the year. Great prices for books they are moving out. I highly recommend taking some time to explore this library. There is something for everyone and they have a great staff to help if you have any questions!

I've been to many museums through the years. This was my first visit to a presidential…read moremuseum/library, and it was spectacular. In addition to a 25-minute video production about the life of President George H.W. Bush (during which I shed a tear), there are more artifacts here than you can shake a stick at. The guides are quite friendly and knowledgeable, and they are prepared to answer questions. During my visit, there were several original artifacts on display, including FDR's speech on Dec. 8, 1941, and Elvis Presley's original enlistment documents. But those are traveling exhibits. There is plenty of Bush family memoriblia to quench your thirst for some up-close history.

I love visiting Presidential Libraries when I happen to be in the area. So far I have visited the…read moreones for Hoover (West Branch, IA), Johnson (Austin, Tx), Nixon (Yorba Linda, CA), Reagan (Simi Valley, CA), Truman (Independence MO), and now George H.W. Bush. I was in College Station over the weekend for a Texas A&M Class of 1980 Reunion, and part of the agenda was paying this place a visit. The George H. W. Bush Presidential Library complex, located on the campus of Texas A&M University in College Station, includes the Presidential Library and Museum, the Bush School of Government and Public Service, and the Annenberg Presidential Conference Center. My visit included the main Museum, a separate building holding the very cool Union Pacific 4141 Engine and the Marine One Helicopter, and the graves of President Bush, his Wife Barbara, and their Daughter Robin. The later involves a pretty walk around a scenic pond (and rose garden area) and onwards to a gated plot within a quiet woodsy area. If Gayle is reading this, of course I also took a look through the gift shop at the end of my visit. I found the main museum to be nicely curated, in chronological order, and with lots of interesting things to learn and remember. I found that I needed at least a couple passes through to help layer my visit. Of particular note (besides the 4141 and Marine One) were exhibits noting the fall of the Berlin Wall, Camp David, the family boat (Fidelity), and the car that the Bush family drove out to Texas for the first time. There was also a special (and worth visiting) exhibit when I was there Music America: Iconic Objects From America's Music History. Also, please don't miss the 22 minute orientation video when you first start in. I found that it really helped set the stage for what was to come at this museum.

It's also a good place to meet new people (though I get nervous sometimes when I try). One of my favorite experiences here is actively searching for certain books through their LCCN codes like a scavenger hunt. Even though they don't have every book in the world (and especially journals), the library's knowledge and community are enough for this to be a recurring place to visit, relax, progress and improve.

Need help? The library staff is here for you! This library…read moreseems like it has overgrown its original spot, and now also includes the building next door, the Library Annex. There's a 'sky bridge' that connects the two libraries. There's not enough signage here! Looking for a book? This library doesn't follow the Dewey Decimal System like most other libraries. They have some collegiate model that I can't understand, and there's not any signs that just say, "Anthropology is here." But if you have a question, there are plenty of librarians on the bottom level. On any of the other floors? Tough luck. Other libraries have numbers you can text a librarian at to ask for help, but I didn't see that. There's not much public art here. The walls are plain and boring. The aisles aren't large enough to get a wheelchair down. There aren't many private study places. I was glad to see that they've got some high speed, large scanners here if you need to make some digital copies of the book you're reading, or copy your buddy's notes. I was surprised to see so many children's books at a university library!

Other Presidential libraries are Truman and GEORGE Bush, JR but I didn't care about them too much. I was impressed with his background as WWII pilot ‍, had a daughter that died at age 3, and felt he had a destiny to be something greater. After graduating from Yale, he worked as an oil field equipment salesman for Dresser Industries, CIA director and then got into politics to be the 41st President of United States and was ambassador to China for a few years. Impressive resume I do admit. I actually enjoyed reading and exploring his well laid out artifacts and stuff in chronological order. I normally find these historical things boring. If you like collecting stamps from each Presidential library, don't forget to stamp at the gift store your brochure. Always asked for brochure from the security guard. The greeter at the door didn't inform us about getting a floor plan layout brochure, so we just went to where we bought tickets and that guy told us to catch the video first and then head in inside to library to explore and pass by the Presidential car to start your self tour. The docent inside was nice enough to take our photos for us so no more bad selfies. lol He also had a wealth or information to explain things to us at the recreation of Oval Office where you can pose and take more photos! This is a far drive which is why there are not many reviews for this good library. There are two big slabs of the Berlin Wall, one inside Musuem and one outside with the horses statues which is well done. I grew up where the Berlin Wall came crashing down. That was important point of history! There was a small section for Forst lady, Barbara Bush related to books and reading. Outdoors was a lake, her garden and cemetery where The President, First Lady and their daughter, Robin was diagnosed with advanced leukemia are buried surrounded by a gate to protect them.
