Mission Statement

The Southern California Theological Library Association is an independent organization dedicated to strengthening delivery of and resources for the theological information, knowledge, culture, and research through the development of cooperative programs, services, and collections in the Southern California area. The Association will develop and solicit funds, materials, services, and other contributions that enable its members to reach their full potential in serving their respective clienteles. The Association promotes and supports cooperative efforts among theological libraries to reduce the duplication of services and resources which inevitably occurs when similar institutions which answer to different funding sources attempt to provide levels of service basic to their missions.
