The Grade I-listed Barber Fine Art Library reading rooms are a gateway to over 55,000 books, journals, exhibition, and auction catalogues. Use these pages to explore our materials also located in our other libraries and archives, and online.
The library is not immediately affected by the closure of the Barber Institute Galleries on Sunday 26 January. The Library will remain open as usual until later in the year, but the start date and length of closure is not yet known. Details of library closure will be announced as soon as available.
