The Saint Monica Institute Library supports the mission of the Order of the Discalced Augustinians Philippine Province Seminary by facilitating it with recorded knowledge in all its forms. It responds to the curricular, informational, and research needs of its members by acquiring, housing, and providing access to books, periodicals, databases, audio-visual materials, digital media, and online resources, maintaining an appropriate environment for study and learning.
The Library serves as the central Library for the SMIT and THC Institutions. It plays a key role in the student’s education by providing various platforms on which the information and collective wisdom essential for their success is stored, equipping them with the skills necessary to navigate those platforms, and assisting them in their efforts to apply those skills in their academic work. The Library also makes its resources available to priests, deacons, parish ministers, religious congregations, religion teachers, and interested laypersons.
The library emerged at the same time as the Institute's existence and has become the heart of the Institute's academic research and learning source outside the classroom. It has one big room with 32 feet long and 25 feet wide, with 37 shelves of different subjects.
The pictures of the library facilities are provided below.
