NASA ARC Technical Library

Description

ARC maintains a technical library for research purposes.  It's specific air and space applications, so you won't find the latest Harry Potter, but there's a good range of books and periodicals, many of which you'd be hard-pressed to find elsewhere.  The staff are also helpful and knowledgable, but are willing to leave you alone if you just need to sit and read up on the properties of unsymmetrical dimethyl-hydrazine.

And they have a keen globe of Jupiter.

The library is located inside the ARC fence, so you'll need a NASA badge to get there.  Unfortunately, that means it can be a challenge to reach if you're not a US citizen.

Incidentally, if you are looking for the latest Harry Potter, you can check here.
