Library

The current John B. Craig Library was completed in September 2010 and has enabled the Irish Baptist College to provide a wide range of top quality theological resources as well as a suite of comfortable study areas upstairs for its students.

We have approximately 13,000 volumes with room on the shelves for another 2,500. Along the back wall we have a number of theological journals. There are certain shelves dedicated to books that are being used for assignments. We also have 5 study spaces located on the ground floor for disability access.
