There are two main libraries at Queen's and they form an
invaluable resource for teaching and
learning. Girls may use the libraries for private study during the school
day and until 6 pm in the evening. There is a full-time, professional librarian.
The Senior Library
The Senior Library is made up of the Main Library and a later extension, the
Blue Library. It is for use only by I and II Seniors and by staff, and is one
of the most impressive parts of the College. A portrait of F D Maurice, the founder
of the College, hangs over the mantelpiece and there is an atmosphere of
quiet and purposeful study. Newspapers and periodicals are available in addition
to the stock of about 10,000 books.
The Kynaston (Junior) Library
The Kynaston Library is available for use by all pupils and staff. It is used
for the younger girls' Library lessons, and houses nearly 8000 volumes and a
good DVD/video collection.
Bookshop
The librarians run a bookshop in conjunction with Daunt Books of Marylebone High
Street. A small selection of books is kept, and special orders may be placed
for items not in stock.
