Get Your Free Books Here!

Carol Maxwell in the Library

Are you aware that our library has many free books available for the taking? From the courtyard entry, take the hallway to your left. There is a bookshelf unit facing the door to the little restroom just before you get to the library. On it are all the books that are free. They consist of duplicates of ones already in our library, ones deemed not appropriate for our library, and some that have been in our library for a long time but never read. From time to time these are gleaned to make room for new books coming into the library. Help yourself. These will be here through the end of October after which they will be donated to one of the thrift shops or shelters.

Also, for your information, all magazines that are donated to the library will be passed on to the Justa Center or Valley View Thrift Store. There seems to be no interest in checking these out of the library.

With October comes the thoughts of Bible Studies. I have come across what I consider to be excellent books for “teachers” or anyone leading a Bible study group. They are “Bread of Angels” and “The Luminous Web,” both by Barbara Brown Taylor. Another is “Leaders” (Learning Leadership from Some of Christianity's Best) by Harold Myra. These three may be found in the section with light blue tabs – Bible Study.

We also have a collection of books for group study. They are as follows:

• Images of God (8 copies)
•  Images of the Spirit (6 copies) 
• Ecclesiastes – Chasing After Meaning (12 copies) 
• Prayer – An Adventure with God (5 copies)

A new shelf has been designated as “Medical Books” These are from Carol Arseth's library. They are available for research or reading but only in the Library. They are not to be removed from the Library.

I would like to see more names showing up on the library cards. Come on in and give it a try. There is something for everyone. It is easier than going to a city library. Drop in after church or on Bridge Club Wednesday afternoons. Sit and browse a spell. If nothing else, come in and visit with me...

Your Satisfied Librarian,
