The physical library is the foundation of many of the services of the Reformational Study Centre. On the one hand, there are the request-type services (like The Preaching Library and The Timothy Project) that make extensive use of the library, but the library is of course also vital to the studies we do for Vox Viva, cultural questions, material for translation, etc. Building a solid and extensive library is of utmost importance to our goals in general!
The first focus of our library is not how many people we can get to the physical building, but how much of the library we can get out to the people. Although that will remain our main focus, the Study Centre has received more and more visitors over the past few years who wish to come and study at the premises.
Our library mainly grows through the donation of books, but we also have a book fund.
