Greetings!

Perhaps all of our churches are dealing with the Omicron surge right now. My own church has closed the office this week due to the high number of staff and church members who have COVID. Whatever our churches are doing right now, our libraries are affected in all sorts of ways. We got our first request to cancel a subscription to our emails from a family member of one of our members who died of COVID in the last few days. May God get us through these days.

As We Begin the New Year . . .

With that in mind, let’s continue our conversation on problems challenging our church’s/synagogue’s library teams? Let’s encourage each other with our prayers and encouragement. Perhaps there is comfort in finding out that we are not the only ones facing that challenge. Or we may find someone in the Church Librarians Network who has been through that challenge before us. His or her experience may help you. Click here.
