Originally added to McGreer Hall in 1909 to serve as the University Library, the Old Library serves as the consultation room for the University Archives and the Archives Service of the Eastern Townships Resource Centre, the special collection of books pertaining to the history of the Eastern Townships, Canada, and special volumes concerning Bishop's University. Used year-round by faculty, students and the local community, the room is especially popular during the summer months when people from across Canada and the U.S. come to do family research (genealogy).
The room is also used throughout the academic year for lectures, workshops and other special academic events and may also be used simply as a study hall or a quiet place for everyone.
