LIBRARY CLOSED UNTIL WINTER 2024 SEMESTER

Due to renovations in the building, the EBC Library is now closed until the Winter 2024 semester.  We encourage current students to make use of online books and resources through the DTL2 platform.

For all library inquiries, please email the Registrar's Office:

The Edna Pridham Memorial Library has been the centre of research activity on campus for students for many years. As the college has needed to change and adapt, so have Library services.  The space previously used for the Library is now being renovated for worship and other uses, and a smaller designated space for Library resources is being created.

The college seeks to provide research and learning support to all of our students.

In addition to our physical collection, we are pleased to offer the Digital Theology Library 2 to current students, staff, and faculty of EBC. This collection contains over 478,000 e-Books, over 10 million peer-reviewed articles, and over 34,000 journals which may be accessed both on and off-campus.  The DTL2 can be accessed at: dtl2.libguides.com.
