SBC Library Catalogue

The SBC Library has a collection of over 25,000 titles, hundreds of periodical backfiles, and a growing collection of ebooks. The library also subscribes to approximately 20 magazines and journals. Furthermore, SBC students have access to EBSCO databases with roughly 10,000 e-books and thousands of articles.
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.
