The Seminary Library is part of the Seton Hall University Libraries. Located in Lewis Hall, its collections support the curriculum of the Immaculate Conception Seminary School of Theology, a graduate school of theology of Seton Hall University and the major seminary of the Catholic Archdiocese of Newark.

The Seminary Library contains approximately 60,000 books, 400 periodical titles, periodical microfilm holdings, and some audiovisual materials. The collections focus on theology and church history. They are particularly strong in liturgy and biblical studies. Some resources are available in German, French, and Spanish. The library's collections are included in Setoncat, the university library's online catalog.

The Seminary Library is housed in a modern facility that provides comfortable and convenient study areas. Collection resources are on open shelves. Access to the collection is limited to students and faculty of the Immaculate Conception Seminary School of Theology.
