General
Information
Our Christian library is a subcommittee of the Christian Education
Committee. Our
goal is to provide a comfortable, peaceful environment
with materials that inspire, teach and entertain.
This library’s adult scope is mostly
religious nonfiction, but there is a small section
of fiction and of biographies.
Children’s books are separated into
three sections: Picture/Easy Reader, Juvenile/Independent
Reader, and Young Adult (next to adult fiction).
The Library operates on an honor system and is open whenever
the building is open. If you choose not to check
out a book, we ask that you carefully reshelf it.
To check out a book, just write your name
and phone number on the card that is inside the
pocket on the cover and leave the card in the box
on the library table. There is a book return basket
in the library and on the tables in the main hallway.
There is no specific check out time for
most books, but 2-3 weeks is suggested. Please keep other church members in mind when
you have a book checked out.
A small selection is marked 2-week, and we
ask that reference books remain in the church.
Donating A Book To The Library:
The library is always eager to receive good quality Christian
books. If
someone has a used movie or book(s) they want to
share, they may put them on the library table with
a note to that effect.
Donations that we are unable to use will
be sold in a yearly Used Book Sale that benefits
the library.
Special purchases in memory or in honor
of someone can be handled two ways:
- By giving a financial donation
to the library through the church office
- By choosing a book from the "Wish
List" and purchasing it.
The book may be left on the library table
with a sticky note to that effect, including the
correct spelling of names.
A donation bookplate will be affixed to the frontispiece with
your name and the honoree’s.
