Ministries: Church Library

The church library is fortunate to have new quarters. Thanks to the renovation of the old library and the addition of former Sunday School space by the Livingston family, the church library is fully functional and ready to provide services to the congregation.

The new library was designed and crafted entirely by the Livingston family. Freda Livingston, wife of John Livingston, provided the vision and oversaw the day-to-day progress. Joe and John helped with the general construction and crafted the fine oak shelving. Tom Livingston provided the blueprint and designed an intarsia, Path Through the Woods, which occupies the rear wall. David was responsible for the new lighting and wiring and some of the general construction. Carole Ricketts, a daughter, helped with the painting along with Fran, Tom's wife. Finally, Mrs. Livingston designed and made the window treatments and chair cushions and prepared many meals to feed the "work crew." The library, which is very warm and inviting, is truly a work of love and a gift to the glory of God.

The church library is open on Sunday mornings at 9:30 am until worship service. The library is also open on Wednesday nights at 6:15 pm. The library has many books which you may find helpful in preparing your Sunday School lessons and for Christian growth and development. A wide assortment of Christian fiction and biography are also available. We also have easy books for children, and a small collection of children's videos.

The library collection is computerized making it easy to locate materials pertinent to your subjects. Circulation is also computerized making it easy to check materials in and out.

We are constantly trying to upgrade our collection. Since our budget is limited, we welcome contributions of recent Christian books to our collection. Think about donating a book to the library on your child's birthday or other special occasion.If you would like to donate books or monies for this collection, please contact Barbara Mills or Nancy Gibson for suggestions.

Another area of need is in audio-visual collection. We are particularly interested in books on tape and Christian videos.

We look forward to serving you. Stop by and see if we have something to interest you.

Coming Soon: Watch for book lists!
