Training College Book Plan

The Salvation Army Training College has a growing collection of books, periodicals, audio tapes, video tapes and CD-ROMs. This valuable resource is available to cadets and officers.

The library is continually updated to keep abreast of the latest in Christian literature.You can assist by donating the cost of one of more books or other items to the library. You may wish to make a donation to acknowledge some event such as an anniversary or reunion, or simply because you wish to support the work of the college.

The Training College Book Plan can be used as a very practical and lasting tribute and memorial to the life and service of a loved relative, friend or comrade. A certificate, inscribed according to your wishes, is placed in each donated book. The donation is also acknowledged in the library catalogue and the donations register. An acknowledgment card can be sent to relatives.

How do I make a donation?
For a brochure and application form, please contact us.

Can I donate used books?
The Training College library is happy to accept donations of used books that may be of use to the library. Books not placed in the library are then made available for cadets to add to their personal collections.
