Virginia Tech Library Service Center
Affiliated Library
Description	Located off campus in Blacksburg, the Library Service Center is a high-density, climate controlled space where we keep many of our physical items safe and sound. Materials here are available on a deliver-by-request basis, but we understand that researchers often need to browse our collections in person.
