The primary library resource for the faculty and students of the Augustine Institute is the Cardinal Stafford Library of St. John Vianney Seminary in Denver. Through the Institute’s cooperative agreement with the Seminary, students may apply for borrowing privileges, borrow books by U.S. mail and through interlibrary loan, and access the electronic databases to which the Stafford Library subscribes. To apply for a library card, students must complete this form (PDF) to the Cardinal Stafford Library in person. Moreover, students interested in researching through the electronic databases should review the Cardinal Stafford Library’s Research Guide.

In order to successfully fill your request for a book or resource from the Cardinal Stafford Library, you must have previously applied for and received a library card (notification by email indicates receipt).

You will receive your document by email if you have requested a book chapter, book review, article, or the like.  If you have requested a book, however, the Library will likely use the United States Postal Service.
