Library Collections

The library has a number of collections in a variety of formats and subjects. Collections can be circulating or noncirculating, and general or special. If an item is circulating, it is available to be checked out and taken from the library. With a few exceptions, general collections circulate and special collections do not circulate. All items must be checked out to the user while in use.

*Items listed as available for checkout are contingent upon patron being part of campus/monastery community or Friend of Library in good standing. Public patrons are welcome to browse and access materials for in-house use
