Why is the Library called the Zondervan Library?The library is named in honor of P.J. and Mary Zondervan. P.J. Zondervan, the founder of Zondervan Publishing House in Grand Rapids, Michigan, was an active member of the founding board of trustees for the College. Since 1991, the Library has also housed one of the two repository collections for Zondervan Publishing, which means the Library receives one copy of every book and Bible published by Zondervan.
Can I use my MichiCard library card to borrow materials?You may check out books for three weeks. Back issues of magazines, pamphlets, and audio-visual materials may be taken out for one week. If you need an item that is checked out to someone else, ask at the circulation desk. There are overdue fines of 25 cents per day for materials.
