Founded in 1448, Queens' College Library consists of both old and new. The Old Library is still situated in its original room with bookcases made from medieval lecterns. Although none of the original collection remains, the library holds a fine and hugely significant collection of c. 30,000 early printed books and manuscripts dating from the 12th to 19th centuries.
Occupying the old Chapel, the student library (War Memorial Library) is spread over 3 floors and provides a variety of study spaces, as well as books for all tripos subjects and friendly librarians who are happy to help with any questions.
