We encourage gifts to the library in memory of loved ones or in celebration of significant and happy occasions such as baptisms, confirmations, anniversaries, and weddings.
The library accepts used and new Christian books, videos, and CDs in good condition. Materials should be published within the last ten years unless they are classics. We also appreciate receiving issues from the previous three months of Christian magazines for all ages.
VOLUNTEERS
Volunteers are always welcome. The library needs people for circulation activities like carding and shelving resources or being at the desk on Sunday mornings or during the week. Volunteers are needed to enter resources on the data base and to process them. If you would like to volunteer and serve on the library board contact Marge Anderson at dmanderson@usfamily.net.
