This essay provides an overview, from a North American perspective, of three Catholic scholarly libraries in Greater London. The author sketches out the history, unique qualities, collections, and services of each of these libraries. The objectives of the essay are to introduce these libraries to a new audience, to set out points of comparison of holdings, services, and cultures, and to foster new ventures of collaboration between Catholic theology libraries globally.
