Hi Everyone!
Our prayers go out to those in Louisiana and other states affected by Hurricane Francine.
New Event
The Evangelical Church Library Association Annual Conference takes place October 5 in Winfield, Illinois. Looks like a great experience! Click here for the details.
Collection Development: Magazines
Some of our churches provide magazines for people to read at home. In some churches, their libraries distribute the magazines. Many of these magazines use a variety of authors who also write books. They also advertise books and DVDs. Let’s discuss ways to use the magazines to encourage people to read books and watch DVDs found in the libraries as well as sources for finding titles to add to the collection. Click here.
