Librarians’ Report

Librarians’ Report

The highlight of the 2008 Library year was attending the 50th  anniversary National Church Library Association Convention in Minneapolis, Minn. in November.

Rutledge and Arletta Currie participated in 2 days of workshops on topics including classification and cataloging, weeding essentials, library automation, promoting library ministry, choosing books to fit the needs of our church community and copyright essentials.

We are anxious to put our newly acquired skills and enthusiasm to the test in the coming year.

An energetic youth volunteer, Sophie Jones, has expressed interest in helping to reestablish order to our library holdings.  We welcome her and invite others who might have some time free periodically, to help with cataloging, shelving, bulletin board presentations and other assorted endeavors.

Our children’s section showed the  greatest circulation in 2008.  We will be focusing on reintroducing the greater range of our collection to the congregation through 2009.
