About the Library

Gen. John Lathrop Throckmorton, a veteran of World War II, Korea, Vietnam and the Detroit riots, commanded both the 82nd Airborne Division and the XVIII Airborne Corps during his time at Fort Bragg. He later retired after over 35 years of service.

The Throckmorton Library was built in 1997. It replaced the earlier post library on Macomb Street, near where the 82nd Sustainment Brigade's post office now stands.

Since 1997, the library has evolved into a modern learning facility, featuring more than 100,000 volumes and offers many programs like an adult book club, teen events, youth story time and also features 75 common access card-enabled computers.
