I should probably add, be cautious regarding attaining free books...some sites are doing this because they are illegally copying or downloading them to their site. I believe the z-library site while it is still up online, I'm not sure if your library will be free of charges if you download something here.

This one is for Missouri UMC churches and applies to Little Free Libraries rather than in-church libraries. Posting in in case it's helpful or of interest to someone.
While this is not about Grants, it is a note about resources for building library colllections.

A recent inquiry on this site church libraries network was asking about free ebooks. Using the strings "free religious books" and "free religious ebooks" will get you to sites which have offers of such free books as well as additional links to such free materials. For collection building it is worth the effort and may open new resources not shown in the above article. --Paul T. Jackson
