Welcome to the Missio Library
The Missio library functions primarily as an online library providing e-resources to our students. We hold a small print collection that’s available to seminary students and staff. Unfortunately, we are not currently able to provide library services to community patrons.
Do you need help finding something or accessing library resources?
Please email us and we’ll be happy to help you.
Accessing library materials
Standard library open hours are Monday – Thursday, 9 AM to 4 PM. The library is also open on select Saturdays when classes are held on campus. Reference services are available by appointment or by email.
Note that hours may vary due to scheduled seminary activities. Please check our calendar before you arrive to verify that the library is open.
Online resources are always available to current students, faculty and staff through the Digital Theological Library (DTL). You can find these resources by searching the Missio catalog. When an item’s link takes you to the DTL, sign in using your Missio ID number as the password.
Missio students, faculty and staff can check out print books from Missio’s collection. If no one is present at the reception desk, you may use the self-checkout clipboard to check out books. Books may be returned on the book return cart located at the reception desk.
Our hours change frequently depending on the seminary’s schedule, so please contact Jill Curcuruto (215-368-5000) at the front desk before you visit to verify that the library is open.
