Reception

William A. Barton reviewed Library Data (A-M) in The Space Gamer No. 46.{{Cite magazine |last=Barton |first=William A. |date=December 1981 |title=Expanding Traveller |magazine=The Space Gamer |publisher=Steve Jackson Games |issue=46 |page=11}} Barton commented that "I have no real complaints at all with Library Data (A-M) – except that I wish it could have been possible to include the rest of the alphabet without dropping any of the present entries. I think you'll find it the best source of information on the Traveller universe anywhere."

Bob McWilliams reviewed Library Data (A-M) for White Dwarf #28, giving it an overall rating of 9 out of 10 for the novice (and 7 for the expert), and stated that "this is an important reference work for all Traveller players and referees who use the official Traveller campaign as a background for their adventures."{{Cite magazine |last=McWilliams |first=Bob |date=December 1981 – January 1982 |title=Open Box |magazine=White Dwarf |publisher=Games Workshop |issue=28 |page=15}}
