The Vincent Library exists to encourage the STM community to pray and study.
Located on the second floor of the Golden Center, the Vincent Library is a vital resource for those who seek to learn more about the Catholic tradition. With over 5,000 books and periodicals on its shelves, the library contains a comprehensive collection of 19th to 21st century Catholic writers. The library also houses the personal library of Rev. T. Lawrason Riggs, providing students and research scholars with an excellent snapshot of 20th-century Catholicism at Yale.
In addition to extensive resources on Catholicism, the library also contains significant holdings from Protestant, Judaic, Muslim, Buddhist and other religions.
