Garrett Research Library, contains more than 12,000 volumes — including rare books on early psychical research — and more than 100 periodicals. The collection emphasizes the literature of contemporary parapsychology and those publications that approach the subject from objective and analytical points of view.

A number of relevant encyclopedias, doctoral dissertations on parapsychological topics, introductory textbooks, and biographies of researchers, psychics and mediums are also on hand.
