Swedenborg Library
Located in the heart of the Bryn Athyn College campus, the Swedenborg Library is home to over 109,000 books, periodicals, and special collection items. The Library consists of 35,000 square feet of floor space on three floors that houses our collections, and provides space for individual and group study, in addition to several meeting or classroom spaces. A number of public computers are located on the main floor. Our dedicated and knowledgeable staff serves the needs of the College and other organizations in Bryn Athyn, as well as members of the Bryn Athyn community. The Library is also a foundation of New Church research. It houses the world’s largest collection of Swedenborg’s works, among other rare collections.

Swedenborg Library is participating in the PA Forward Star Library Program as part
of the Pennsylvania Library Association’s 21st Century Literacies Initiative.
The Star Library recognition offers support to libraries who integrate the literacies in their programming activities while also working to enhance staff training and support libraries in their efforts to provide patrons and students with opportunities for growth through five key literacies – Basic, Information, Civic & Social, Health and Financial. This program will assist staff in positively impacting the quality of our student’s college experience and lives.
