University Library Association
The Library Association of Károli Gáspár University of the Reformed Church in Hungary was founded in 1999 by the following libraries: Library of the Faculty of Law, Bod Péter Library of the Faculty of Humanities, Török Pál Library of the Faculty of Theology, the Library of the Faculty of Teacher Training and the member libraries of the Institute of Studies for Central and Eastern European Missions.
Following the traditions of the famous Reformed colleges of Sárospatak, Pápa, Debrecen, Nagyenyed and Kolozsvár (Cluj-Napoca) the University Library Association aims at developing its collection in order to support – in addition to pastor training – the education and research of other disciplines.
