Administrators HappyChristian Posted October 4, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted October 4, 2018 So yesterday I ordered our first set of books for the library. Mrs. Shirley Starr has a 5-book set of Women of the Bible. They are not large books, but they are good. Next order will probably be something for men. As I mentioned, we are limited financially, so this set was actually 2 months of the budget. Here's the link to the Starr's site: https://starr-publications.com/online-store/ I've begun the process of accessioning and classifying. It's going to be quite the job, but I'm looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators HappyChristian Posted October 12, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted October 12, 2018 We just received the series Women of the Bible, written by Mrs. Starr. They are accessioned, and just awaiting labels. This Saturday, after the men's breakfast, my hubs is going to have a short men's work party. They will be moving some things around, and bringing in a bookcase to the room where our library will be. Yee-haw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators HappyChristian Posted October 26, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted October 26, 2018 So we now have 39 books (one is scheduled for delivery to my house today...I already have the accessioning finished and will only need to stamp and label it) for our library. I will be setting it up tomorrow morning, and checkout will be available after the services beginning Sunday. I'm so excited that we are able to do this. If you think about it, would you please pray that our people would read the books and grow in the Lord thereby? Special thanks to Brother Markle for his donation. Several folks have already expressed a desire to read those books. God is good! Here is a photo of 10 of the books - those written by Bro. Markle and those written by Mrs. Starr.

Members Pastorj Posted October 29, 2018 Members Share Posted October 29, 2018 We had a library at the 2nd church I pastored. We didn't keep track of who took what. It was completely on the honor system. I scoured thrift stores and found many conservative books for $1/book. We had a budgeted line item for books, but rarely used it all. I got an entire series of John R. Rice's books for $10. HappyChristian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have plans to go to the thrift stores here in town. The Goodwill has a large section, and many of those are hardback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators HappyChristian Posted August 8, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted August 8, 2019 A couple of weeks ago, I went in to our library to add our most recent books. I had to move books from one shelf to another. As I began to remove some, 2 of the shelves fell, bringing the books on them down, just missing my toes! So... I asked my husband to consider the idea of the church purchasing new shelving, that would be more steady and secure for the books. He had me do some research online, and I ran some pictures off of possible cases. We went to Walmart to look at one as well. He presented the pictures to the men (due to not having deacons, he meets with the men to discuss things before church business meetings). They were not thrilled with those bookcases - they wanted something more solid. So they tasked him to find something better...even though more expensive. So he brought it up at the meeting itself, and everyone agreed that we should find better quality (although I do think these would have worked). I found a shelving unit that is 6' by 6', with 15 shelves, 3 of them stationary to add stability to the shelves. It will fit perfectly against the wall in our room - with 6 inches to spare on either side. He brought the picture and description of the shelf to church that next Wednesday night, and we voted on purchasing it. It arrived today! We had it shipped to our house because there aren't people at the church every day. Now we will get it to the church and get it put together. I am SO excited!! We are closing in on 200 volumes. I'll have to post a picture once we get it all arranged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators HappyChristian Posted September 14, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted September 14, 2019 So we got our new bookcase. I've got the books on the shelves, but I'm still ruminating on shelving. I'm not quite satisfied with it. I spent some time cleaning and decorating at the church today and took a picture of our new shelf. Alan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Jim_Alaska Posted September 15, 2019 Administrators Share Posted September 15, 2019 A good choice HC. When I was in Alaska I made book shelves that looked just like those, they served very well until I moved. HappyChristian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
