The library at First Pres has been developed as a resource for the entire congregation. Our growing collection contains books for all ages.

 

 

The library committee purchases books for the library throughout the year and would like to share with you some exciting ways you can help us build our church collection.

 

A recognition bookplate will be placed in each book donated.

In selecting your book, we would remind you that the mission of the library is to provide a religious resource for the congregation. With pastoral assistance, the committee will review any books that are donated to insure that they are consistent with that mission.

If you would prefer, the committee will be happy to provide some recommendations or purchase a book on your behalf.

 

One of the greatest gifts that we can give is to share a story with a child. Unfortunately, the children’s selections in our library are limited. A list is available from Judy Schlabach and in the library of good possible additions to our collection. Buy a book for a child and another for the library. Give a gift of a book in honor of someone. Dedicate a book to your child on his/her birthday. Your gift will be used by our families and by our teachers to enhance the lessons that we teach the children.
