About the Collection

Library ShelvesThe ICC Library includes books not only from an evangelical perspective but also from other theological traditions.

We currently have about 45,000 volumes, and we subscribe to 180 periodical titles. We have an audio–visual section, and around 40 CD ROMs for student and staff use in the library.

We aim to provide resources to support the college´s varied theology programmes and youth work programme at all levels. We also seek to provide access for ICC students and staff to any material needed for their study but not held in our collection.

We feel that our ever–growing library is a valuable resource not only for our students but for anyone in the Glasgow area who would like access to books on Biblical studies, doctrine, church history, mission studies, practical theology and world religions. Our biography section includes substantial holdings of missionary biographies. We therefore welcome membership applications from people outside the college. (See Using the Library).
