I was going to recommend The Church Librarians Handbook in a presentation I am doing on "Why Church Libraries?" When I went to get the link on Amazon, a new copy of the paperback is $87.80! Does anyone know where to get it cheaper? That seems like a mistake. There are some used ones for around $25, but still....
Are there any other books y'all would recommend for a new library starting up?

The two Lifeway books are available on Lifeway.com. Both are now in pdf format so that you can download and put in a binder for ease of use or spiral binding at an office store. The print edition was terrific to have but pdf is better than nothing.

BTW, the Church LIbarians Network is the ongoing updating part of the Church Library Ministry Information Network.
I am thinking Susan is asking about another book that is titled The Church Library Handbook. It was published by Baker? I found it on Thriftbooks. Click here. Some of you will know more about this handbook than I do.
Yes. Sorry! However, the reason it jumbled in my mind is because I was thinking of your classification book, which is listed for $89.90!

The print edition is out of print hence the crazy price on Amazon. The pdf is linked in my reply above for only $8.99.
Thank you so very much, Morlee!
I want to quickly pipe in here & say "YAY!"
This book is awesome. We have a couple books in print. I refer to this book quite frequently & so I highly recommend it in any form.
I remembered Morlee's book on the Classification System for Church Libraries and that one is listed on Amazon for $90.00
