Church Library
 The Church Library offers comfy chairs, materials for all ages,
non-fiction and fiction books, videos, books on tape and more. It's generally open when the church office is open and on
Sunday mornings.
Mission: The core mission of the
Church Library is to acquire
materials to enrich the lives of the congregation that meet the
following criteria:
 | Christian education |
| Spiritual development |
| Social awareness |
Duties of the Committee:
The committee is authorized under the Board
of Christian Education. Duties of the committee include selecting print
and non-print resources; promoting use; organizing and maintaining the
materials; reporting regularly to the Board of Christian
Education regarding the progress of the library; and making
recommendations regarding policy, direction and content of the library.
History of the Library: Although a church library
has existed at First Congregational Church in some form for most of its
life, the J. M. Jordan Library celebrates the contributions former
minister Rev. Dr. Jerry Jordan gave to the congregation to revitalize
the library. Through his vision, members moved the library to the main
floor and made it more accessible to the general membership in
conjunction with a remodeling project. This event was celebrated by the
grand opening in April 1999.
Check-Out
Procedures:
- Write your full name,
telephone number, and today's date on the card located in the pocket
on the inside back cover of each item you'd like to check-out;
- Place the check-out
card in the "items checked-out" box;
- Another card in the
pocket should have a "date due" slip; write a date of three weeks from
today;
- Enjoy the books and
remember to bring them back in 3 weeks;
- When you return
materials, please return them to the "return books drawer" in the
church library. Please do not reshelve the items yourself; we want to
see what's being checked out!
Donations: The Library committee
welcomes donations and gifts of money and or new or gently used books.
The committee reviews all gifts for their appropriateness before adding
them to the collection. Please contact the church office if you are
interested in donating materials or money for use of the church library.
