The ARC is organized into three broad areas of interest related to our lives as Anglicans. There is a reference section for those able to visit the centre in person (reference books are shelved on top of the regular shelves). Occasionally the ARC is needed for a meeting space, so if you’re planning a visit, please check with the Synod office to make sure it is available. Email office@nspeidiocese.ca or phone 902-406-8990.
When you arrive, sign into the ARC register at the reception desk and the key will be given to you. Return it at the end of your visit and sign out. If you are borrowing resources, please make sure to remove the card at the back of each book, date and sign it, and place it behind its matching index card in the orange card card-holder at the front of the Resource Centre. When you sign out and return the key at the front desk, make a note of the number of resources borrowed in the appropriate column at the right side of the ARC register.
