We are in the process of building a new church building and will have a new library. Our staff wants all organizations that have a room to come up with a "creative" name for the group (space, room) Anyone else call their organization anything but L
I am my church's library director and I do this job completely voluntarily. I've been asked to help an acquaintance of mine do some catch up cataloging for her church's library. She has stated she will pay me whatever I want. There are probably 100 b
We frequently run into the problem of the data entry person enters a book into the database and the card catalog immediately shows it as "in". The book has several more steps before it will be put on the shelf, so the patrons and/or workers cannot

I am weeding for the first time (very nerve-wracking). It is all old cassette tapes and VCR tapes. This is my question do I simply delete them? (I have a potential home.) Do I need to keep a list and why? (I though outdated technology). Any suggestio
I have read the older thread on this subject, and have downloaded the 2 attached from one church in Arkansas, and another one. I need to do this- it's been too long neglected, but I need some other examples than these two. If you are willing to s

My annual budget for our church library is only $500. Where can I purchase books at a low cost? I've been ordering from Christian Books Distributors but even that can eat up my budget quickly. Thanks!!
Hi, I'd like to find out how I can get copies of old issues of Glory Songs, and the accompaniment tracks to go with the booklets. I especially need the CD or Cassett for Oct/Nov/Dec of 1995. Can anyone help? Thanks.
