Paul wrote to Timothy, "When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, also the books, and above all, the parchments." 2 Timothy 4:13.

Paul had need of books: how much more the growing Christian of today needs the stimulus of books for reference, for Bible study, for inspiration in Christian living! The church library is a teaching tool, important to study for the individual, the class, and the congregation. The library supports the mission of the church as well as the growth of individual members' faith. The Christian, in his study of the Bible, needs the information, discoveries, examples and distilled ideas found in books.

How to Use the Library

Our facility is always open for browsing, quiet reading or serious study. Staff members are present on Sunday mornings.

Check-Out and Return Procedures

Books and non-print items are available for check-out. Materials normally circulate for 2 weeks, except for Reference books which are marked for one day loan only. If you would like to borrow a book, you must sign it out.

It is expected that materials will be returned on time. If more time is needed, renewals can be made, unless others have requested the item.

Special Gift Contributions

To keep the library current, the church budget includes a line allocation for library resources and upkeep.

Memorials and special gifts from members and groups are encouraged and are used to purchase selected items and equipment. Donors may assist in making selections. Donated books are accepted if suitable for the collection
