A presidential library is not just about one president; each library is about our nation and the world during that time. The George W. Bush Presidential Center reflects George's role as the first president of the 21st century. Like our new era, the building and its grounds are designed to be forward-looking, and they're green and sustainable. They celebrate the native environment of our home state of Texas. The archives housed here are completely digital. And the entire Bush Center is designed to present the past and engage the future. We welcome scholars, and students, and the community at large to gather here for generations to come. (Laura Welch Bush)
