 A New Interfaith Display in the Library

 

In celebration of Theological Libraries Month in October sponsored by The American Theological Library Association (ATLA), we are informing the Theological Community about The Henry S. Olcott Memorial Library and creating a comparative religion/interfaith display in the library. We wrote a brief summary of the holdings and activities of the library which we submitted for posting on the ATLA website along with a photo of our interfaith display. In the summary of our holdings we specially emphasized how the Henry S. Olcott Memorial Library is an excellent resource for comparative religion studies.
