We are trying to build a Graphic Novel section for Junior Readers. Does anyone have any good suggestions for Christian Graphic Novels besides these? ICorrie Ten Boom The Hiding Place: (A Graphic Novel) Ages 8-12, Full Color, Il
What is new in your church’s or synagogue’s library ministry? Hopefully new books, but what about other ways of having something new? I have something new to share but I can’t get my iPhone to send the photos to my email account where I can download
In our not too distant history, church library conferences were available frequently in most states. Due to decrease in funding and the increase in travel expenses, a high percentage of those conferences have evaporated. Let's have fun remembering th
Our pastor is interested in setting up a book stall. Does anyone have an idea about beginning a book collection? Our library books are mostly really old.
A new experience for our Enrichment Center Team. I got an email from a couple who are members of another church in our association. They asked if our church let non-church members use the library. We do, so we met in the library last Friday. We had a
Today, we had our very first preschool storytime in the Enrichment Center! Click here to read our Forest Hills Baptist Church Enrichment Center Journal where I shared today's great experiences!
Many of you have been doing storytimes for years. Would
Share with us your favorite sources for library books and DVDs. Even if you see your sources mentioned by others before you do, go ahead and add to our list in this discussion.
Even though we have had this discussion in previous years, let's start a new list of dependable sources to help with selection. Chances are what we listed a few years ago may no longer be available. AND new sources are worth our consideration.
I know that pretty much everyone here highly recommends the Dewy Decimal system of cataloguing but I'm looking to hear from church librarians who have small libraries and organize bookstore-style via categories.

Yesterday, I heard that publishers are transitioning to hardback books without paperbooks. Have you heard anything about that? I am noticing that hardbacks right now are sometimes almost the same price as the paperbacks. And I also notice new books a
If you have a topic in mind but not sure about posting it, I will start a discussion for each topic either on Q&A or one of the other tabs where it fits best. Topics may or may not be questions.

Due to the slow down after Covid and a loss of workers, our library now has a backlog of ordered and paid for DVDs (mostly preschool) to catalog. Do we spend the time to enter these into the catalog when so few
Our church highlights a ministry each month, or so, in our Welcome Center on Sundays with representatives from that ministry and a coffee and snack bar. It's a great oportunity for our congregants to m
My Church has been using Atrium Book systems for several years now. My church is going through a need for reduction in our budget and my pastor has asked me to give up that system after this year because the price keeps increasing. He made a suggesti
Hello all! I am a 70-year-old life-long member of a Presbyterian Church in the U.P. of Michigan. Here's some background of our church: Our church membership has dwindled over the years, and we now have a membership of under 200, and a
Our pre-teen selection (4th-5th grade at our church) needs some attention! We are ready to order some current Christian books that would be highly appealing to this age group!
I've been searching publishers but finding that there doesn't seem to be
I'm attempting to weed our 242 section, primarily devotional books in the calendar format. How does everyone handle this section? With all the ones published each year, do you carry them in your library? How do you weed?
