When is the Library open?

The door to the Library is always unlocked, so the Library is available whenever the church is open. A selection of books is also available on the library cart outside Room 2001 of the Family Life Center if you would like to check out a book featured there.

How do you check material out of the Library?

Checking out material is an easy 3-step process:
1. Remove the card from the back of the book, CD, tape, or DVD.
2. Print on the card the current date (example: 2/26/09), your name, and your telephone number.
3. Place the card in the box labeled “Circulation.”

Do you take donations for the Library?

We are always happy to accept current material that is in good physical condition. Our collection focuses on religious, moral, and ethical topics. We need to replace many of the books in our children’s section that are becoming worn. We would also like to expand our Spanish language selections for both children and adults. You might like to donate a new book or money to purchase a book on our “wish list” in honor of or memory of someone. A label will be placed inside the front cover to indicate the donation.
