John B. Craig Library

The John B. Craig Library, completed in September 2010, enables the Irish Baptist College to provide a wide range of high-quality theological resources alongside comfortable and well-designed study spaces for students.

The Library houses over 13,000 volumes and also has a collection of key theological journals.

Upstairs, students benefit from quiet and comfortable study areas, while five study spaces on the ground floor ensure accessibility for all students.

All students enrolled on College courses are welcome to use the library for personal study.

In addition to the physical collection, students have access to Perlego, an extensive online library offering over one million books, as well as journals and academic articles on the Alta Religion Database.
