Lending library

  • The lending library is a resource held by the Multifaith Chaplaincy for all students and staff to access. It is not part of the Brookes Library.

    The library is stored in the Multifaith Chaplaincy office on the ground floor of the Buckley Building. You may borrow a book, or sit and read it with a cup of tea. You can find a list of our resources below, organised by faith, then by author. 

    Pop into the Multifaith Chaplaincy office to borrow any book on the list. To donate or request a book, please email the University Chaplain.
