Concordia Seminary Library, St. Louis
This large academic library is not a member of the state-wide MOBIUS system and does not participate in the OCLC WorldCat service. Eden students and faculty may borrow books directly from Concordia Seminary Library by presenting a current Eden ID at the circulation desk at Concordia. Books must also be returned in person at the Concordia Library as there is no delivery service between Concordia and Eden.
