Founders Day – Library

The Abbot Vincent Taylor Library provides the Abbey community with the necessary access to a wide range of critical research. Currently, the library offers more than 150,000 print books, 400,000 e-books, and over 100 databases, as well as tools such as Alexandria and OneSearch allowing our students to access documents from across the world!

The Abbot Vincent Taylor Library has over 13,000 rare books and manuscripts, among which are theological, historical, and literary works chosen by the first monks of Belmont Abbey, during their study in Rome.

Today the Library serves as an intellectual commons and a collaborative space for the entire student community. Responding to student requests and feedback, Alexxis Lynn and Library staff continue to engage in fruitful dialogue that invites students always to take ownership of this remarkable space and its dynamic resources.

This Founders’ Day,  your gift will go toward:

• Increasing available classroom space by completing the Special Collections area
