C L Butchers Memorial Library

The C L Butchers Memorial Library comprises about 20,000 volumes, including several historic runs of pharmacy journals and a number of valuable old books. The library has been planned as a special collection for the pharmaceutical sciences and drug technology, and not as a general library. Of its type it is the most important collection in Australia. It has been maintained since 1857 and was originally designed primarily for the use of members of the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (Victorian Branch) Ltd.

The College Board has directed that the administration of the library be attached to the dean and director's office. A student representative sits on the library committee.

The library is available for study and reference purposes, from 8.30 am to 5.15 pm from Monday to Friday during semester.
