The Cambridge Union Society Library

The Cambridge Union Society Library “Libraries are the thin red line between civilization and barbarism.” —Neil Gaiman

The greatest societies in history—the ancient Egyptians, the Greeks and Romans, the Byzantines, Renaissance, and beyond—kept their most important documents, archives, and books in private spaces, so that those who wished could explore, learn, and thrive in a conducive environment. We see no need to break from tradition; thus, the Union is excited to offer its members use of its stunning library fa

cilities, complete with the largest borrowable fiction collection in Cambridge. Our library functions as an intimate respite from the bustling study spaces across the University, housing the Fairfax Rhodes Reading Room, which contains rare and antiquarian editions of works ranging from Dickens to Darwin. We encourage you to explore, for study or for pleasure, as we work over the course of the coming term to present and build upon our vast collections, and plan for the Union’s bicentennial year in 2015.
