CHURCH LIBRARY NEWS

Our Church Library is entering the computer world.  You can now go to the Church Library Link at Library Thing and see if we have a book using the title of the book or the author.  There is limited information on the computer, if you are searching for a certain topic.   When researching a subject; you will have to use our library’s detailed “Book Classifying System” which is found posted in the library (Room B-2, second floor of the new building.) The general classifications are given below.  More details are given under each classification.  The shelves of the library are also labeled for easy finding.
