History
In 1981, the medical library was transferred to the 2nd floor of Building 2 at the East Campus. The transfer of the College of Medicine to the University Medical Center compound in 1986 gave more room to the GEAC undergraduate library. On August 1, 1991, the ground breaking of the new library building was held. The late Bishop Felix Perez led the ceremonies. The building, which was patterned after the Aguinaldo shrine in Kawit, Cavite was the brainchild of Bro. Andrew Gonzales. It was designed by Arch. Roberto Estanislao. Engr. Perry Piccio of Constar Construction was awarded the construction of the building. On April 30, 1992, the new Aklatang Emilio Aguinaldo was inaugurated. Construction
of the new library building was made possible through the leadership
of Bro. Rafael S. Donato, FSC, president and Dr. Oscar O. Bautista,
executive vice president. The increasing population of De La Salle University-Dasmariñas
prompted the construction of a library extension. The new building was
designed by Arch. Ernesto Reyes and the construction was awarded to
H.L. Carlos. Vision Mission Vision The Aklatang Emilio Aguinaldo strives to become a creative partner in the Achievement of the De La Salle-Dasmariñas’ teaching, learning and research goals.

The
humble beginnings of the Aklatang Emilio Aguinaldo (AEA) can be traced
to when the General Emilio Aguinaldo College (GEAC) Dasmariñas
Campus was established on July 18,1977. It started with a classroom-size
library with two library staff. It was transferred to the administration
building in 1978. The opening of the College of Medicine in 1979 led
the GEAC administrators in creating two separate libraries, the medical
library and the undergraduate library. 
The
Archives and Special Collection Services is the unit of the library
that houses the official University records, University publications,
theses and dissertation, rare books, memorabilia, and preservation copy
of Lasalliana collection. 
Reference
and Information Section. It houses general references like encyclopedias,
dictionaries, atlases, yearbooks, biographical indexes, directories,
bibliographies, corporate files, and vertical file. It also issues referral
letters.
