INTRODUCTION

The Word of Life Bible Institute Library and Study Center in New York is a resource center dealing primarily with subjects taught at the Bible Institute. It has over 25,000 print and electronic book volumes and a scholarly journal database. It exists for the edification of the student body and staff. The Library Director and Team are available to help you as much as possible. It is our prayer the Library and Study Center might minister to you in some unique way.

The Library and Study Center is centrally located adjacent to The Wyrtzen Center. Its Upper and Lower Levels have access to campus Wi-Fi and are light, bright spaces conducive to focus and study.

The Upper Level contains soft seating, smart study tables, and a study room available for reservation by students for group study. The Lower Level front room contains individual smart study desks and two reservable study rooms. The Lower Level back room contains the Library Director’s office, the circulation desk, and the stacks which hold the print collection.

The Library and Study Center is a beautiful facility designed to serve you while you are a student at the Bible Institute. We are grateful for God’s provision. Take pride in it so future classes can have the same privileges you enjoy while you’re here.

II. USE OF THE LIBRARY

Upper Level

• The Upper Level of the Library and Study Center is for the purpose of studying either individually or in groups. The Library and Study Center is to be quiet: no loud talking or laughing that prevents others from studying, no disruptive groups, no watching of videos without earbuds, and no excessive volume on devices. Be considerate of your neighbor. • This level is open when the passageway to The Wyrtzen Center is open.

Lower Level

• The Lower Level front room of the Library and Study Center is a whisper-level space for individual study. When using this space, you will contribute to an environment in which each person may focus well. Study rooms are not soundproof; talking is allowed in these rooms at a level that does not disturb students sitting outside. • Use of both front and back rooms of the Lower Level is tracked through signing in and out on the iPad at the circulation desk. • Lower Level Hours are:
