The student reading room is the private library for the veterinary students: It consists of collections of books and magazines purchased by student funds, donations, memorial gifts and complimentary subscriptions obtained by the Student Chapter of the American Veterinary Medical Association at Iowa State University. The committee attempts to obtain all commonly used books and magazines for use by the students. The availability of these texts, magazines and reference books is of value to the students for assigned outside readings and for browsing in the minutes available between classes and other spare time.
