About the Library
Library Mission
The Library's mission is to serve the Lord by providing faculty, students, and staff with rich, varied information resources, competent bibliographic instruction, and quiet, contemplative space; this, in turn, supports Trinity's calling to give theological education, spiritual nurture, and practical training for those He has called to ministry and Christian leadership.
Collection Development Guiding Principles
The Library's collection development supports the Library's mission, and is based on the principle of stewardship with the goal of glorifying Jesus Christ and serving His Kingdom through the items added to the collection.
Trinity Library's development goals are to develop the collection by,
- first, providing a repository where the Bible, as God's Word Written, remains the primary source for library activities and basis for library resources;
- second, developing and making available a rich collection of theological resources with an emphasis on Biblical Studies and Anglican Theology to support the evangelical and educational mission of Trinity; and,
- third, establishing a secure archive for older, historically significant materials that chronicle the Episcopal Renewal Movement and the history of Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry.
The Library continues to add and maintain historical and contemporary works to implement these guidelines, including print monographs, serials, and periodicals, as well as information in emerging formats, such as electronic and audio-visual resources.
