The BCPS Library contains over a thousand volumes of material on chess problems and endgame studies (books, periodicals, manuscript items). Members are entitled to visit the Library, either for research or for recreation, and subject to certain restrictions to borrow from it. The Librarian is also willing, subject to his other commitments, to provide a limited research and enquiry service to members who cannot visit the Library personally.

The current version of the Library catalogue is dated 31 August 2009 and comprises 198 pages of text. It can be downloaded from here by clicking on one of the filenames below. The following formats are available:-
