The P.H. Welshimer Memorial Library has served the Milligan College community for the last forty years. It houses over 160,000 books, periodicals, documents, and non-print media and assists users with them. In addition, the Library currently provides access to more than 80 online databases. It is one of the founders of a local consortium, Holston Associated Libraries, which gives access to the holdings of seven local academic and public libraries. The three-story building was first occupied in November 1961 and is the gift of the T.W. Phillips, Jr. Charitable Trust and the Phillips family of Butler, Pennsylvania, after an initial gift by the Kresge Foundation of Detroit, Michigan.
