Built in 1969, the library is named in honor of Colonel J. Sinclair Brown. Brown was a banker, legislator, and leader of Roanoke County.
Brown Library's mission is
The effectiveness of the library in achieving its mission is assessed informally on a continuous basis through student and faculty feedback and more formally through student and faculty surveys.
As a center for academic life, Brown Library will provide a friendly and comfortable physical facility where users are empowered to connect with information and with each other. We will provide resources and services needed by students (both on-campus and off-campus) to fulfill the reading and research requirements of the College's course offerings. We will teach students how to use the resources and services of a 21st Century library and show them the value of doing so. We will continue to enhance and preserve our print collection while fostering digital collections and services to give all Virginia Western students every opportunity to succeed in their academic ventures.
