Library

The library of the "Saint Epiphanios" Cultural Academy, which operates in collaboration with the library of the Holy Metropolis of Constantia and Ammochostos, focuses on the Humanities. It includes books and scientific periodicals covering topics such as Theology, Hagiography, Patristics, History, Church History, Archaeology, Art, and Folklore, with a particular emphasis on Cyprus.

Continuous efforts are made to enrich the library with additional materials and new publications, aiming to meet the research needs of its users, including scholars, researchers, and students from Cyprus and abroad.

The search for materials is conducted through the library management system Koha.The library provides access to subscription databases, electronic journals, and offers older publications in digital format.

The Academy collaborates with several Cypriot libraries. This collaboration provides the Academy's library users with the opportunity to access a wider range of resources and services, and to access the collections of manuscripts, archives, and documents from other libraries.

 

In the context of an interdisciplinary, holistic and modern approach to the study of Cypriot Hagiology, which is an integral part of the culture, history and the Orthodox Church of Cyprus, and using new technologies and methods, the development of a digital library of Cypriot Hagiology, based on an ontological model, is in progress.

The library and reading room are located within the grounds of the medieval Monastery of Panagia Agia Napa. The library of the Holy Metropolis of Constantia and Ammochostos can also be utilized.
