CRC Minister's Loan, also known as Denominational Loan, is a service extended to ministers and retired pastors in the Christian Reformed Church. The current Yearbook of the Christian Reformed Church is consulted. Anyone in this group may request up to five books from Calvin's library. Requests may be made in the form of a letter, a fax or email. The requestor must state authors and titles of the books; other information such as edition, publisher, and publication date is not required unless it is significant.

No more than five books may be checked out; additional books will be checked out only when the total drops below five. Books may be checked out for a six-week period with no renewals. Borrowers must return all materials on or before the date due. Books will be subject to immediate recall if a student or faculty member has need of them. Also, this privilege may be revoked if an individual has any unresolved issues with the library.

Types of materials that may not be checked out are:

Periodicals
Microforms
Ministry Resource Center materials
Rare books
Reference books
Sound recordings
Books in special collections, such as the Meeter Center and Heritage Hall

Note: If you plan to move your household during the time the books are checked out to you, please notify Carla Todd, so we can have a current address on file.
