All Things

At Calvin, we believe that all things are worth considering. Known for its wealth of texts, periodicals, government documents, and virtual subscriptions, the Hekman Library is utilized by students, faculty, and community members alike for investigating, researching, reflecting, understanding, and considering. Offering services from career searching to delving into the work of John Calvin, the Hekman Library thrives as the hub of this intellectually vibrant campus.

Above the crackling fireplace in the library lobby is Calvin's seal "My heart I offer to you, Lord, promptly and sincerely" — a resolve that proclaims all of life devoted to God from the intellectual to the spiritual. This resolve has served Calvin well over its first 125 years-and will carry it into the next.

"At Calvin, faith and learning work together constantly — in a climate of intellectual energy, risk-taking, and courage."
— Dr. Karen Saupe, English
