A housing for an automated data library which is a substantially rigid lightweight structure providing accurate location of the components therein. The housing structure comprises a plurality of longitudinally extending members disposed about and parallel to the central transfer shaftway and the storage bay areas, with at least one of the longitudinally extending members being formed as a rigid tubular member and the remaining longitudinally extending members being generally channel-shaped and disposed at the corners of the housing parallel with the shaftway and adjacent the open bay areas. A pair of closure plates are connected to and close the ends of the longitudinally extending members. A plurality of gusset plates join the adjacent ends of the longitudinally extending members and the periphery of the closure plates and leave a major portion of the shaftway and the bay area accessible between the longitudinally extending members.
