Shelving
To help maintain an organised collection and ensure materials remain easily accessible to all users, we kindly ask that books are not returned directly to the shelves after use. Instead, please place them on the designated shelving trolley located at the far end of the library. This process allows staff to accurately reshelve items and monitor usage patterns within the collection.
Borrowing
Most items in the library collection are available for loan. However, materials marked with a REF label at the top of the spine are designated as Reference Only and must be used within the library. All other items may be borrowed and should be checked out at the Laws and Theology Library Circulation Desk.
What's new in Melitensia
Melitensia's book of the month – April 2026
: 50 Years, 50 Artefacts written by Charles Debono and Maria Fenech; published by Heritage Malta.
This publication marks the 50th anniversary of the National War Museum at Fort St. Elmo, founded in 1975 by the National War Museum Association. In addition to giving an overview of the museum’s development, it includes recollections drawn from recorded interviews with five members of the Association. The book also showcases illustrations of 50 carefully selected artefacts from the museum’s collection, each accompanied by detailed descriptions offering insight into Malta’s wartime history. The artefacts range from military vehicles, aircraft, and weapons to personal items such as letters, diaries, and medals, as well as objects reflecting everyday life during wartime. Finally, the book highlights the important role of donations and shared memories in shaping the museum.
The list of new Melitensia acquisitions is available online.
