Church Library

The Church Library is located in Room 15, along the hallway between Fellowship Hall and the church office.

There is a shelf devoted to new books opposite the entrance. In addition to books on Bible study, theology, and the Presbyterian Church, the library has many titles on examining and nourishing personal faith. There are also books about social issues, such as parenting, homosexuality, aging, death, etc., children’s books, and a small collection of videos and DVDs.

 

To borrow a book, sign your name and date on the card inside the back cover, and leave the card in the check-out box. There is no set loan period, but please return items so others may use them. There is a book return box for this purpose.

 

To determine whether the Church Library has a particular item, check the printed catalog in the Library, or one of the Library links below. Books (except children’s books) and other materials are listed by author, title, and call number (which represents subject areas). To locate a particular item in the online file, use the “find” capability.

 

The call number categories list identifies subjects associated with specific call numbers.

In the Church Library

I Believe in … Christian, Jewish, and Muslim Young People Speak About their Faith (200 G) is a collection of interviews conducted with almost 100 Chicago-area teens--Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Author Pearl Gaskins identifies topics such as religious symbols (crucifixes, scarves, etc.); following (and breaking) religious laws; women's issues; and the idea of "many faiths, one world." These first-person accounts display the poignant, sometimes shocking, and always honest way that teens struggle with the role of religion in their daily lives.
