A. R. Reddin Memorial Library Campus/Online

Welcome to the A.R. Reddin Memorial Library page!

Southeastern Baptist College exists to glorify God by providing quality post-secondary education from a Biblical worldview in a Christian atmosphere, thereby developing Christian growth in students and preparing them for service in the Kingdom of God. The college attempts to maintain a high level of academic excellence, insuring that the work of its students will be valuable in the eyes of the academic and professional world.

Within this context, the primary goal of the A.R. Reddin Memorial Library is to provide library services that support the college’s curriculum and to fulfill the information needs of the students, faculty, staff, and administration through the building and maintaining of a vital collection of library materials and resources.
