McAuley Library
Mercy College acknowledges the importance of the McAuley Library by naming it after the founder of the Sisters of Mercy, Catherine McAuley. Catherine McAuley placed great value on education, just as Mercy College and in turn, the McAuley Library, places great value on education.
Our contemporary and well-resourced collection has fiction and non-fiction resources suitable for our diverse K-12 student body. The McAuley Library also subscribes to a number of online databases to support student learning, as well as eBooks and Audiobooks and a range of resources in various World languages.
Students can access the library catalogue, with links to our full suite of digital resources via the following:
