Libraries

There are five libraries at Adelynrood.  Guests can curl up in one of the several libraries and sample a broad spectrum of spiritual works – as well as a variety of poetry collections, an extensive mystery fiction section, wild life guides and many other treasures.

Main Library

This library, on the ground floor just off the Common Room, is an inviting space and contains the largest Adelynrood collection. The card catalogue and current acquisitions are located here, as are special displays of conference materials. A librarian is on duty here.

Hilda’s Rest

Hilda’s Rest, on the second floor over the Common Room, contains fiction, travel, psychology, history, biography (including the St. Francis collection), and more spiritual life. Additionally, you will find tapes of conferences and quiet days held at Adelynrood over the years. Night owl readers are often found here.                         

Study

The Study opposite room 29 on the second floor is home to the collection of art books, a display of some books from Emily Morgan’s collection, and books by Companions. Older books in poetry, theology and church history are here as well.

Saint Tarsicius

St. Tar,” on the lower level and reached by the exterior stairs off the Della Robbia Porch, is where you will find a large collection of light fiction and mysteries as well as books for children. Here we have our perpetual book sale; drop in if there is no meeting in progress.

San Damiano

The San Damiano Living Room has an eclectic collection including nature guides and more books loved by or written by Companions.
