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 Arc and Arc 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 Office) 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. Limited Saturday openings might be possible if there is a demand.

Ultimately a computerised catalogue and bibliography of books, pamphlets, journal articles, reports and other sources will be made available on this website.

The library team is Gill Harvey, Anne Wares, Donald Munro, Elizabeth Gardner and Tony Cooper, and can be contacted by email from our contacts page.
