Library Resources and Services
The Zondervan Library provides extensive and comprehensive academic print and online resources and services to students, faculty, staff, and alumni, as well as the general public. The Library also provides resources on a state and national scale through interlibrary loan programs with institutions across the United States.
Catalog
The Cornerstone University Library Network (CULN)—Cornerstone University’s Miller Library, the Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary’s library, and the Kuyper College Zondervan Library utilize a shared online catalog in order to provide expanded resources and “borrowing power.” Each library maintains its own collections and identity in order to support the curriculum of each respective institution. The same borrowing and lending policies apply to each library.

On-Site Library Resources
The entrance to the Library is on the second floor of the classroom/administration building. Here you will find the check-out/information area, current periodicals and newspapers, reference materials, and the Library collection.
There are a variety of study spaces throughout the Library, including individual and group workspaces. Natural light and soft seating make the Library an inviting space for praying, working, and gathering. Computers and a copy/print station are available.
Why is the library called the Zondervan Library?
The Library is named in honor of P. J. Zondervan, the founder of Zondervan Publishing House in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and his wife, Mary. Zondervan was an active member of the founding board of trustees for the College. Since 1991, the Library has housed one of the two repository collections for Zondervan Publishing, holding in its collection a copy of every book and Bible published or yet to be published by Zondervan.
