The Society's library includes books and pamphlets on Hertfordshire, with an emphasis on St Albans and books relevant to the Society's wider interests. Most of the books and journals may be borrowed by SAHAAS members.

The library is in the former Judges' Robing Room in the Old Town Hall (the door is behind the counter of the Tourist Information Centre) and is open on Wednesdays and Fridays from 10am until noon. If you cannot come during opening hours please contact the library team who can tell you what material is available and make photocopies.

The library team is Gill Harvey, Jon Mein, Donald Munro and Anne Wares, and can be contacted by email from our contacts page. More volunteers are needed to keep the library open on two mornings a week. You do not need to be a qualified librarian but will be shown how the catalogue works and asked to assist visitors in finding information – please contact the library team.

Ultimately there will be a fully computerised catalogue and bibliography of books, pamphlets, journal articles, reports and other sources on this website. While we continue with this work we have produced several interim catalogues and indexes, the details and links for which are below.
