hurch library
Members of the Community are welcome to make use of the church llibrary. It
will normally be available after services, but please contact the librarian
for access. The books are shelved (by author, or title when there is no
clear author) in a downstairs room in the house. Requests for loans from
those not able to attend services regularly may be sent to the librarian
by e-mail (fingrawhi@btinternet.com).
All loans must be recorded and a book will be made available for this
purpose. Other than that, the rules and regulations are minimal. There
are no formal loan periods, but please return items promptly if they are
required by another user. While the Community will pay for outward postage
on any loans, return postage is the responsibility of the borrower.
As the Library is still in its infancy, it consists largely of donations.
Further donations or suggestions for new purchases will be welcome; please
contact the librarian about these.
