The Austen K. deBlois Library at

Palmer Seminary Library’s online catalog is new and improved, and can be accessed either through the Palmer Seminary website or the Eastern University/Warner Library website. You may continue to search for books located at the various Eastern University campuses. In order to access some of the new features of the catalog, however, you must create an account. If you have not yet replaced your old Palmer ID with a new E-card, please stop by the Seminary reception desk. Then bring your new card to the Seminary Library so we may update your account. For assistance in using the new online catalog, contact the Library at 484-384-2945 or semlibr@eastern.edu.
