Perhaps the college's most striking feature, its library, is located in the converted 18th-century [[All Saints Church, Oxford|All Saints Church]] handed over to the college in 1971. All Saints church tower is a feature of Oxford's skyline, one of the city's "[[The Dreaming Spires|dreaming spires]]". After the church spire collapsed in 1700, amateur architect and [[Dean of Christ Church, Oxford|Dean of Christ Church]] [[Henry Aldrich]] designed a new church. It is believed, however, that on some of the later features of the church, particularly on the tower and spire, the work of [[Nicholas Hawksmoor]], the [[Baroque architecture|Baroque]] [[architects|architect]], is to be found. The tower has a full peal of eight bells, which are regularly rung.{{citation needed|date=March 2021}}

Its library holds some 60,000 books. Graduates and undergraduates are able to work in the building until 2.00 a.m. most nights; the [[Bodleian]] and faculty libraries have earlier closing times.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lib.ox.ac.uk/libraries/guides/LIN.html |title=Lincoln College Library at OULS |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081224172507/http://www.lib.ox.ac.uk/libraries/guides/LIN.html |archive-date=24 December 2008 }}</ref> It is kept up-to-date by regular purchases, and welcomes suggestions for books pertinent to studies.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lincoln.ox.ac.uk/content/view/831/548/ |title=Lincoln College Library Information |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090305085637/http://www.lincoln.ox.ac.uk/content/view/831/548/ |archive-date= 5 March 2009 }}</ref> The upper reading room, or Cohen Room, has an elaborate plastered ceiling and the Senior Library (downstairs) holds some of the college's older books, including pamphlets from the [[English Civil War]], Wesleyana, and plays dating from the late 17th and early 18th centuries, as well as a small collection of manuscripts.
