Leftover Bible Study Materials

Posted by Pam Gardner on July 19, 2022 at 17:12

Our church has a few Bible studies each year (Women's Bible study, Men's Bible study, etc.).  We have extra  workbooks and DVDs of these studies.  Should I designate a section in our church library for these study materials for members who might have missed the Bible study?

    In our church library, I have an area that says something like "Help Yourself! These items are extra. Feel free to take as many as you want for your self or to share with a friend." I put extra materials, duplicates, slightly damaged books, weeded books or things that I know won't circulate on these shelves. Our members love the Help Yourself area because it helps build home libraries. provides books for people to give to shut-ins, and we have many members in jail/work release and they don't know if they will get to come back so they are reluctant to check out books. Items that have been there for a long time are donated to our local public library for their book sale.
