Hooke Library

Hooke Library

The Hooke Library was the main teaching science lending library at the University of Oxford, England for undergraduates. During August 2007 the Hooke Library was incorporated into Radcliffe Science Library, which will become a lending library from 1st October 2007 [http://www.ouls.ox.ac.uk/rsl/changes] .

The library was officially part of the Bodleian Library, and was also associated with the nearby Radcliffe Science Library, a reference library used more for research. It is located on South Parks Road in the Science Area of the University. The library is named after Robert Hooke, a major scientist who worked in Oxford.

The Hooke Library housed its collection in the Abbot's Kitchen which was originally part of the Oxford University Museum and on the staircase at the eastern end of the Jackson Wing of the Radcliffe Science Library.
