Our Policies

REFERENCE books are labeled on the spine and shelved in a special area. They should not be removed from the library.

Any member of our church may check out a book.

You will find a check-out card in the back of the book.
Sign it with your name and date (including the year) and leave it in the designated box atop the card catalog beside the door.
If there is not a check-out card, leave a note.
Books may be kept indefinitely but please return them promptly when you have finished using a book.
If the librarian, one of ministers, one of elders, or one of our teachers asks you to return a book, please do so ASAP.

Non-members:

Others who are not members of our congregation are welcome to use our library. We prefer that they do not check out any books without permission from the librarian or from one of minisiters. If given permission, non-members must sign out the book, including a phone number. They must return borrowed materials within one (1) month.

Acquisitions and Donations:

Our budget for acquistions is quite small but if you have suggestions for books you would like to see in the church library, please notify the librarian.

Most of our books are acquired through donation. Donations within the scope of the collection are welcome. Donations may be tax deductible but donors should make their own lists of donated materials. Donated books may be added to the collection, passed along to another library, sold, or discarded entirely at the librarian's discretion.

Returns

Return books to the book cart beside the librarian's desk. There is a sign reading, "Return Books Here."

Please do not reshelf books.
