Thanksgiving, Advent, Christmas, Sermons on Job, Sermons on the Women of the Bible, Adult Discussion Group, Book Discussion – wow! and yes! – Your library is meeting the needs of all these groups that enrich your understandings of living and leading a Christian Life.  Don’t miss out on the opportunities that the library has for you from the many titles on the shelves.

Work continues on the database that will replace the card file, processing new titles either purchased or donated books to the library.  We are also exploring window coverings for the large 3 bay window along with looking for more seating options to meet the needs of the groups that use the library.
