Situated in newly restored and enlarged facilities beneath the Gompa, our Library is a unique resource. Now a part of the Dharma Study Centre it offers visitors the opportunity to browse through a collection of over 1800 titles on all aspects of Buddhism with an emphasis on the Buddhism of Tibet. We have books for all levels, from the casual enquirer to the most advanced student.

The Library also holds a number of texts on other topics such as psychology, philosophy, spirituality, other religions and alternative therapies.

As well as the Library we now have an adjoining study area offering quiet reading, study and meditation facilities. The study area is open all day every day.
