      I like the idea of giving away Bible Study guides and study books from small groups -- AND the idea of not cataloguing them. Maybe I should put this into the statement about how we handle given material to our library.

    If you are talking about the dated learner guides for small groups, my church recycles those by asking people to put their unmarked guides in a recycle bin in the hallways. These are sent to a mission church. Some people I know prefer the older editions of Bible study books that were used with January Bible Study each year. Has any one checked these out in recent years?

    I have a follow-on question. Many of our Sunday Schools classes use purchased Bible study books / workbooks. There are often some left over. What happens to these in your church? Do you catalog them into the library? Excuse my vagueness, but this is an area I know little about.

      Assume these are published books, not dated learner guides (quarterlies). We think of these workbook small group books as "recommendations" for people to purchase their own copies. Now that a lot of our areas no longer have faith-based bookstores, church libraries will become more and more the sources for recommendations of what to purchase.
