On the second floor are housed Buddhist works, including Buddhist stacks, a reference room and study area, a restricted access room for Vinaya Texts, a display room for rare Buddhist books, a computer room for information retrieval and publications searching, and a commons area. Other libraries on campus include: three Buddhist reference library areas at Joyous Giving House, a Buddhist and language reference library at Tathagata Monastery; a TESL reference library in the University Building; and boys’ school and girls’ school libraries.
