The library holdings cater in particular for the Degree Programmes and the Professional Master courses that are taught at the Prato Campus, but it acts also as a point of service for all students of the University of Florence living in the Prato area and holds therefore basic material for all other disciplinary areas. 

Currently the collection counts around 20,000 volumes, 100 journals and 1,500 titles of audiovisual material.

In the library there is also an audiovisual viewing workstation and since 2015 audiovisual material is available for loan.
