I am looking for tips on engaging with and coordinating library volunteers. This will be a focus of the next BIC Church Librarians Newsletter (BIC = Brethren in Christ).

  Thanks, Debbie. This is very helpful. Can you tell me what church you attend? I want to give you credit for your thoughts in my newsletter.

    Is your newsletter available to people outside your church? We publish one monthly which goes to church librarians and other interested people in addition to our own church body, and I'm always interested in seeing other church librarians' newsletters! So if it is available, I'd love to see it!

      Debbie, I just took over as volunteer librarian, and I am getting ready to start a quarterly newsletter for the library. Would you be able to send a few back issues to me so I could see your content and design? Thank you so much! DFUMCLibrary@gmail.com

        could you also send me a few of your newsletters? I've been our church librarian for 2 years now and haven't started this yet.
        
        Thanks!! Paige
