Our own local LIBRARY and other resources.......
The
library at First United Methodist Church offers a variety of
materials and resources, including devotionals and inspiring works,
fiction, UMW recommended readings, reference works, teaching
resources, maps, videos, and children’s and young adult books.
You are invited to come in and browse or check out books.
The library (room 209) is located on the main floor,
diagonally across from the church office.
The library committee welcomes suggestions
or possible donations (e.g. memorials or “honor” books for
special occasions). For
a list of some desired future acquisitions for the library, see the
copy posted in the library. If
you want to leave a message or you are interested in serving on the
committee, you may leave a message in the Library Committee mailbox
slot by the church office.
