Please visit the children’s library just outside the front entrance of the nave and help your children, grandchildren, or godchildren check out a book or two! If you are interested in helping our children’s library grow, we have a wish list of books that we would love to add to our library’s shelves. See Kh. Alyssa with any questions or suggestions of books to add to the wish list!
Borrowing Rules
- Please sign out library books before borrowing them.
- Please return books in a timely manner so others also have the opportunity to benefit from the material.
- When you return library books, place them in the return basket and cross off your name from the sign-out sheet.
- Wash and dry your hands before reading library books.
- Keep food and drinks away from library books. Do not eat or drink while you are reading library books!
- Keep your library books in a safe place, where pets, weather, or young siblings will not be able to damage them.
