The John Hand Library Library_Front_Desk

The John Hand Library, All Hallows College, underwent a major redevelopment and refurbishment in 2006 making it a fine, modern academic library facility fitted out to the highest standards. The library occupies a total space of 531.95 square metres, over twice its original size. It has ninety generous study desks and state-of-the art shelving and lighting.  

The library consists of two rooms, the Main Library and the Aula, which house over 23,000 books and 100 journal titles. In addition to these printed resources, a wide range of e-journals and databases is accessible.

A mezzanine in the Aula houses ten networked PCs for electronic research. All desks in the library are fitted out for laptop use and the internet is accessible throughout the library. A collaborative / training room in the Aula is equipped to provide IT training and is also available for students to work on collaborative projects.
