The Temple Rome Library is one of the finest study abroad campus libraries in the city. The library provides an excellent environment for research, study, or casual browsing. Although our extensive holdings cover a wide range of topics and academic disciplines, the collection is particularly strong in the fields of architecture, art, art history, business, humanities, and social sciences. It also places special emphasis on topics related to Italy and Europe more generally.

As a branch of Temple Libraries, we offer users an extensive network of services and resources to support their educational and research needs.
The Temple Rome Library is open to guest users for library reference only.

As a branch location of Temple University’s Libraries, we are able to offer users an extensive network of services and resources to support their educational and research needs.
