Libraries were
a part of
the earliest Christian churches, and St. Paul's continues that
tradition. St.
Paul himself was devoted to reading.
The Parish Library
supports the
mission of our parish and provides materials for spiritual growth and
development.
It is open to everyone. There is a warm comfortable atmosphere
with
a variety of lighting levels and seating.
The library is located
in the first
floor hallway of the Parish House, right next to the parish
office.
If the door isn't open, knock before entering; it's a popular place for
meetings.
Photocopies of the covers
of new books and videos are posted on the bulletin board and the librarian will
occasionally wheel a book truck full of new materials into Coffee Hour for people to
look at before shelving.
The Parish Library is
supplemented
by an online Link
Library, which is always open.
Catalog
A complete author, title,
and subject
catalog is contained in the black notebook that normally rests on the
glass-topped
study table.
Loans
- Circulating
materials
are loaned for
a period of one month to all who have a mailbox at St. Paul's, or at
the
discretion of the Rector.
- Directions for
self-checkout are under
the glass on the large study table.
- Returned
materials
should be put in
the wicker basket under the table.
