Welcome to the Library
We are here to help you with learning how to be critical thinkers in understanding what sort of information you need for your research projects and how to find, evaluate, and cite that information. Thinking christianly means more than just reading the Bible, it is integrating all sorts of knowledge into a comprehensive and cohesive understanding of God’s story in the world.

Other resources to consider:
In addition to the resources made available through the Eternity Library all students are highly encouraged to take full advantage of their local library. Depending on where you are located you will generally find multiple branches of both city and county public libraries offering a seeming infinite number of print and electronic resources.
**And even during ‘stay-at-home’ orders libraries that are closed have an option for registering for an e-card if you need one: LAPL is one example.
As an enrolled college student you might also consider reaching out to a college/university campus near you. Some colleges offer borrowing privileges to the local community. Your Librarian here at EBC would be willing to forge the connection for you if you have need.
World Cat connects you to the collections and services of more than 10,000 libraries worldwide. The great thing about this particular tool is you can search for an item that seems obscure and then request an ILL (inter-library-loan) to have it sent to a library near you. Essentially you search all of these 10K libraries in one search bar.
I’m learning to love people better, not only through the things I’m learning in my classes, but through the amazing community of students and teachers who model it for me.
