The Library holds nearly 30,000 volumes of Catholic and Christian literature, specialising in literature, history, philosophy, theology, patristics, hagiography, spirituality and mysticism. There are substantial volumes of works by John Henry Newman, Thomas Aquinas, G.K.Chesterton, Jacques Maritain and Etienne Gilson, among others.

A membership of $50 per year ($35 concession) entitles subscribers to borrow up to four books at a time for 30 days.

If you can't come to us, you can still explore our collection. The new Library catalogue has been designed to be used with ease on mobile devices. All members can have a username and password to check their borrowings and renew them. Contact us to get your log in details.
