Dinand Library

Dinand Library, a cornerstone of campus since 1927, was originally designed by the renowned Boston architectural firm Maginnis & Walsh as part of a post-World War I expansion. The library was named in honor of Bishop Joseph N. Dinand, S.J., who served as President of Holy Cross from 1911-1918 and 1924-1927. A major renovation in 1979 added the Hiatt wings, enhancing both its capacity and functionality. With its striking architecture, rich history, and central location, Dinand is an iconic part of the Holy Cross campus.

Our diverse collection encompasses print books, journals, DVDs, microforms, and a vast array of electronic resources, including e-journals and database subscriptions. We offer personalized research assistance, technology workshops, and comprehensive circulation and reserve services, all aimed at supporting the academic needs of our community.
