About

The library at St Barnabas College came to be in its current location in 2015.  It was re-built ‘from the ground up’, and grew after a large book donation from a private donor.  As a result, we now have almost 31,000 books in the collection with more to be added.  While most books belong in the subject areas of religion and theology, you will also find books on philosophy, social sciences, literature and history.

Our main aim to provide resources, facilities, and services which support the teaching, learning and research objectives of the college.

As we develop, our  aim is to provide resources which support ministry needs within the parishes of the Anglican Diocese.  This also includes resources for clergy use, lay education and leadership training.

Members of the public are welcome during opening hours.  To enquire about joining the library visit Using the Library .
