Library
The CLS library contains approximately 20,000 books, 100 journals, and a number of videos, CDs, and DVDs. We also offer access to electronic databases.
Our library provides works in all area of theology related to the text tradition of Lutheranism, and significant works from other traditions, both current and historically significant, a minor focus in the history of Lutheranism, especially in western Canada.
In addition to the main collection, we offer two special collections: Parish materials (used for congregational ministry) and foreign-language materials (especially German, in support of the text tradition of Lutheranism)
