The Libraries of The Mint Museum currently include more than 15,000 volumes, which are distributed among three sites: the main library, known as the J.A. Jones Reference Library, the Delhom-Gambrell Reference Library for the decorative arts, both located at the Mint Museum of Art; and the craft and design library at the Mint Museum of Craft + Design. Holdings at the three sites reflect the collection focus of The Mint Museum and include significant collections of resources on historic ceramics, studio craft, costumes, Precolumbian and Latin American art, as well as art techniques, museum exhibition catalogs, and rare books, particularly those on 18th century English pottery and porcelain. A slide and video library is also housed at the Mint Museum of Art. Hours for the J.A. Jones Reference Library and the Delhom-Gambrell Reference Library are Tuesday-Friday, 10am to 5pm by appointment. The Mint Museum of Craft + Design library is not open to the public.
An online resource for museum exhibition information developed by library staff is available on the web at http://mintwiki.pbwiki.com/.
