PCBC Library
The PCBC Library is open to members and guests, featuring an extensive catalog of books, reference materials, e-books, and video resources. Our Collection includes:
- Religious subjects, including devotionals, Bible commentaries, and reference works
- Over 8,000 children’s books
- History, biographies, and other non-fiction
- A grand collection of fiction
- Bible Study Kits with DVDs and leader guides from popular Bible Study leaders
- Digital collection of eBooks, audiobooks, and videos for download through Libby/Overdrive
- Right Now Media streaming service
- Sermons on CD and DVD
- Archived sermons on CD and DVD are available dating back as far as 1963, with the most recent being 3/8/2020. Our last recording is Travis Cook’s sermon the Sunday before the pandemic, when the world changed the way we worship, and our live streamed sermons became available digitally online.
Take advantage of a quiet place to read or do homework. We have computer workstations for research and other internet-based resources. Rosetta Stone for English/Spanish language learning is available.

Location
The library is located on the lower level of the main Sanctuary building beneath the Narthex. We are right down the concourse from the parking garage; you’ll pass Ellis Parlor on the way. Even better, we are just around the corner from the elevator in the Sanctuary/Fellowship Hall building. From Fellowship Hall, go out the back door by the stage, then up the stairs – we’re straight ahead on your left.
Gifts
Gifts and donations to the PCBC Library are vital for expanding and updating our collection.
Consider a donation as a way to:
- Honor or thank a friend, teacher, staff member or other person.
- Celebrate the birth of a new baby.
- Commemorate one who has passed away.
The Library staff will work with the donor to select a fitting use of the gift. We customarily prepare a bookplate to acknowledge the donor as well as the person who is honored.
Unfortunately, due to our space limitations in the library, we cannot accept used books unless they meet a very specific criteria. See our Book Donation Policy for criteria and recommendations for other organizations that may be interested in your donations.
