  • Central Alabama would like to invite you to attend the Central Alabama Library Conference on Saturday March 4th. at Shoal Creek Baptist church in Deatsville, Al. Why not make plans to take a Road Trip to Wetumpka, Al where Ben and Erin filmed Home Town Take over and attend the conference that is about 12 miles away from Wetumpka, The Hampton in located in Wetumpka is offering a reduced rate if you are attending this event.
  • Even though I don't live in Fla. I do live near thaere and am willing to travel to fla. I live in Central Al., so it is not too far. When we have workshops/Conferences we invite Librarians from surrounding states to attend. The next scheduled conference in Al. is the North Al. Conference the 1st weekend in NOV.

  • Thank you for clarifying that for us! :)

  • Let me see what I can find out for you.

  • I would like to get in touch with the young man that was at the Spring Conf at Myrtle Lake and just starting a library  as I had 2 doz or so books dropped off at my library and they are all duplicates

    Tanks

  • I assume by active you mean open at least on Sunday with people who come get books & movies regularly and maybe story time or other activities at other times then yes there are several 

    Are you looking to open or close one

  • Is anyone in Florida still active in Church Library ministry?

  • We just had our Back-to-School Day for our homeschoolers.  God blessed us with 76 people!  We had to set up the event in the sanctuary and fellowship hall as well as the library to accomodate them all!  I am looking forward to sharing with the group in Plant City in Sept.!  We had 24 that were unchurched so the fields are white and ready for harvest!  That is why the library is a ministry!  What an opportunity God has given us!!!
