Our Church Library is your resource center
The church's library has a variety of volumes covering many topics. The books will be arranged on the shelves in Dewey Decimal order so that items on similar topics will sit together.
There are reference books for biblical studies as well as other religious topics. There are also general works on religion and theology, several versions of the Bible and other related works in the fields of sociology, psychology, elder, teen and family care and other social and health issues. In addition, we have some biographies, self-help guides, general works and some fiction. Materials are also available on videotapes and dvds for children as well as for adults. The library also offers storybooks for different ages of children including bible stories geared for their understanding.
New books are added periodically so check often or watch for new titles listed online under "New Books."
Stop into the library located just off the Fellowship Hall, browse our collection and pick up something to read (or search our collection online from you computer). The library is open on a self-serve basis anytime, although we lock it up after services on Sunday so you will need a Church key to access it during the week.. Just sign out for the books that you take and return them in a timely manner. We ask people to check out books mainly so we can keep tabs on which titles are actually being used.
We also have a book exchange area where members may bring in and leave "previously read" books and exchange them for something new to read.
The Library has six areas it supports:
Educational Growth Needs of the Congregation
Provision of Resource Materials for members' needs
Stimulation and Encouragement of Reading by Members
Provision of Books for Children's Reading
Maintaining Materials in all Formats in Addition to Print
Maintaining the Archives of Congregational Historical Materials
