Library

The Sarum College Library has an outstanding academic theological collection of more than 40,000 books covering all denominations.

A legacy of the then-Bishop of Salisbury, Walter Kerr Hamilton, the extensive stock covers is particularly strong in the areas of Christian spirituality, ethics, the Bible and liturgy. About 1,000 volumes are added each year from new purchases and donations.

The library offers reading rights, borrowing rights and an enquiry service to students and external members throughout this country and abroad. Books can be supplied by post for those who live too far away to visit in person.

Library users enjoy study space, internet access, via PC or Wifi, and word processing facilities. Residential scholars are welcome. Day visitors may book in for lunch (before 10am) and use the college Common Room. Short term residential visitors may use the library during their stay for a small charge. Subscription : £30 per annum for reading rights; £40 for reading and borrowing rights.
