Concordia Lutheran Seminary 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 areas of theology related to the text tradition of Lutheranism, and significant works from other traditions, both current and historically significant, with a minor focus on 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)
We would be happy to hear from you! Before you drop them off, please send an email to library@concordiasem.ab.ca, and leave a contact number at which we can reach you. This gives us an opportunity to possibly determine if they might be a valued addition to the library. As our shelves are quite crowded, we’d like to avoid having too many duplicate books on hand. It’s also possible that some books may not be in keeping with our focus on theology and seminary education. A simple email will begin the conversation. We thank you for thinking of our Seminary. We really do appreciate it!
