LIBRARY
The mission of the library is to supplement and enrich
classroom instructional effectiveness and learning at
Pensacola Christian College and Pensacola Theological
Seminary. The needs of the students, faculty, and staff are
met by providing a well-balanced collection of materials
that enhance the academic curriculum, while also meeting
the research and recreational needs of our students, faculty,
and staff.
The goal of the library staff is to supply a variety of services
to patrons, from general help with library use to specific,
individual assistance. If you have a question, please ask a
library worker.
The library staff is conscious of the responsibility to add
resources, make changes, and improve services as user
needs require.
The PCC library is named in honor of Dr. Rebekah (Beka) Horton,
PCC’s cofounder, who over the years has given direction, not only to the
College Library, but also to the Pensacola Christian Academy libraries.I. Study Zones . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1
