SBC Library Catalogue

The SBC Library has a collection of over 45,000 titles, hundreds of periodical backfiles, and a growing collection of DVDs. The library also subscribes to approximately 60 magazines and journals. Furthermore, SBC students have access to EBSCO databases with roughly 6,000 e-books.

The majority of the library's holdings are biblical and theological in nature. It includes a significant collection of works on Anabaptist/Mennonite history, theology and genealogies. General works on science, history, politics, literature, psychology, sociology, and anthropology round out the collection.

While its aim is to develop and maintain a reputable academic collection, a considerable number of more popular religious works are added regularly. Because the library also serves the SCS, works written on subjects such as history, geography and literature are also collected.
