The Library

Our well-organized library is open any time of day, year round, for your use.  If you should find the door locked, stop at the office and get a key, but do plan on having enough time for browsing.  You'll have access to over 1000 books starting with an impressive Biblical Reference area in the entrance and encompassing fourteen color-coded subjects in the main library room.  The color code chart hangs, eye level, on the library wall by the entrance, easy to see and refer to.

You will find subjects such as Bible Study, Biographies, Christian Church and Life, Devotions, God/Jesus, Grief Support, Health and Aging, Holidays, Human Relationships, Reference Books, Women's Issues, World Religion, World Missions, and a huge selection of fiction for hot or rainy weather reading.  It's a variety of books that you won't always find in a public library.  There is also a good selection of large print books.  I was surprised to see autobiographies of our past clergy; their personal stories are all there for you to enjoy.  In the entrance to the library, from the court, are book shelves of free books; give them a glance, the very book you've been looking for may be there.

A cozy sitting area for reading a magazine article or skimming through a book is provided and on the table are recently donated books for you to check out.  Take time to review all of the book categories and find something that piques your interest or answers your questions.  Checking out a book is so easy.  Remove the card from the book, sign your name and the year, and place the card in the basket on the desk.  Enjoy the book for up to three weeks.  Return the book to the wooden box on the desk when you are through.  So simple!  No library card is required, no overdue book fees, no extra car trips.  This gratifying library experience is yours to enjoy thanks to a multitude of donated books and our three dedicated librarians -  Muffy Keen, Carolyn Bruno, and Helen Petersen.  What a deal!
