Milner Library is an active partner in the teaching, learning, research, and service activities of Illinois State University. Milner librarians provide research assistance and library instruction customized to meet the needs of students and faculty.

The present building is named in honor of Angeline Vernon Milner, who was the first university librarian from 1890-1928.
