Letters should be addressed either to the Librarian or to the Chairman of the Library Committee at the address above and should be supported by a recommendation from a person of recognised status.

| Brief Description of Library and its services: | The Library was established in 1973, with the founding of the Study Centre, but its collections incorporate books from earlier Franciscan Libraries. The stock is mainly in the fields of theology & philosophy and has special collections of Franciscana and works relating to the Holy Land (the former Holy Land Centre Library forming the foundation of the latter). Other strengths are mediaeval philosophy and theology, patristics, and Catholic history. Classification scheme: Library of Congress, somewhat modified by the Lynn Peters system. | ||
