Named for Marshfield Clinic emeritus physician George E. Magnin, M.D., the library is a tribute to Dr. Magnin who was instrumental in expanding the Clinic’s medical education programs. The medical library is open to the general public 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Laird Collection & Medical Library Archive

Documentation for many of the Laird photographs and artifacts displayed around the Laird Center for Medical Research is archived at this location. Much like a museum or art gallery, staff and facility resources are dedicated to the maintenance and preservation of this important collection. Archive contents include documents, artifacts and photographs of Marshfield Clinic’s organizational history. Original Marshfield Clinic Articles of Organization and original hand-written meeting minutes are displayed here.

Housed within the George E. Magnin Medical Library is a replica of Melvin Laird’s Reader’s Digest office and conference room. Memorabilia donated by Melvin Laird from his years in the Wisconsin State Senate and U.S. Congress, and as Secretary of Defense are displayed in this area.
