Library Details

Collection: The library collection of over 40,000 items supports the College's teaching program, with special emphasis on Peace & Conflict Studies, Mennonite Studies, Music and Religious Studies. Some individual Grebel courses are supported in coordination with the resources of the other TUG libraries.

Book Returns/Delivery: Books taken out of the Conrad Grebel Library (except for Reserves) may be returned to any of the TUG libraries or their designated book deposit boxes. A daily delivery system returns materials to the owning library.

There are six public workstations connected to the network. Microform, video and audio equipment are available for student use. A printer and scanners can be used at a reasonable cost. The Grebel library also has wireless networking available for faculty, staff and registered students.
