The Library subscribes to over 400 current periodicals and has long runs of many theological journals. About 2,000 rare books are available for use only in the Library. The Taylor Collection of over 3,000 Christian art slides is a unique visual resource that was carefully developed because of the insight and assistance of Dr. William Taylor, the first Principal of Vancouver School of Theology. Members of the Library staff offer support to users. They instruct individuals and groups on use use of Library resources, provide bibliographies, to support VST events, and arrange regular book displays.
Individual enquiries are always welcome.
An attractive browsing area, individual study desks in the stacks, a quiet Reference Reading Room, and the Taylor Computer Centre give students ample opportunity for personal study and research. All areas are wheelchair accessible. A regular list of new books added to the Library is available. These are sent to readers across Canada and the U.S.A. through subscription. Recent graduates are kept in touch with VST through this service.
