The Priaulx Library houses many important and valuable books and documents. Osmond de Beauvoir Priaulx’s original bequest in the 1880s formed the backbone of the collection, but since then, various Chief Librarians and benefactors have added to the stock in various eclectic ways. Since the 1880s, it has also been the repository for a rich collection of local studies materials. Please explore our collections here.

The services offered by the library are more varied than those normally found in a public library and reflect the unique character of the collections. Research is the primary service offered as well as reprographics and services for visiting schools and groups.
