The utilization of quality books enhances every student’s education. Creativity, interests, and knowledge can be gained through reading a wide variety of material. We have attempted to be careful in the selection of our books. Due to our students’ academic and research needs, a great assortment of books is provided in the library. This includes all reference materials. Inside each book, we have placed a disclaimer to remind parents and students to always be sensitive to any material that they read. Bible Baptist Christian Academy believes that the ultimate authority for what is acceptable and unacceptable is found through God’s Holy Scriptures – The Bible.
