    Help!  Does anyone out there have an indoor wooden book return cabinet that they don't want anymore?  I am looking for one for our church, Newington Baptist in Gloucester.  I can't afford a new one...as they are very pricey.

    Carolyn Oakley - did you get the help you need?  If not, Nancy King could get you connected with your area mentor.  allenandnancy@yahoo.com

    Melanie, Nancy Boyd (Liberty Baptist Church, Hampton) is the mentor for your neck of the woods; however, right now she is in Florida, should be back in the spring!  Meantime, if you would like to visit my church library (Temple Baptist Church, Newport News), I would be happy to have you stop by.  Our work day is Wednesday afternoons from 1:00 to 6:00.  We use Concourse (Book Systems) for our library inventory.  Let me know if you would like to come over.

    I am back and the website is as follows--http://vbla.wordpress.com  and the website tells you all about the March conference at Eagle Eyrie (Lynchburg) and info. about Eagle Eyrie, etc.  You will find what you are looking for there, and all these people will be glad to hear from you!  mbl

    get in touch with Jewel Barger, who lives at Chester, VA, but I know her personally and she is past president , and keeps in close touch with all the officers and members and she will be able to give you information as to who lives close to you there and can act as a mentor.  I know that you will not have a problem because that area has many of members of the Virginia Baptist Church Librarians Association (VBCLA) and you can also go to the new website. If you enter the VBCLA into the search, I am sure you will come up with the information for the new website which just opened this past week and the exact name has slipped my mind.  I will go back to my email and find it and try to come back and enter it for you.  In that way you can find the newsletter, which I believe is also published on the web and the way to contact the officers will be given.  I'll come back in a few minutes and give you the new website.  Mackie

    Hello to all.  I just now passed my 93RD!!I am going to be going to Norman, OK to speak at widow's luncheon.  After that, I will visit with my niece and then go back to Garland to resume working on the book.  I know you will have a great meeting in March and remember the scripture, be not weary in well-doing!  Remember the hub of the wheel is the library!  Luv. Mackie

    Carolyn, I see that Jackie Harris has responded to your question - so she will be a terrific help to you!  I just wanted to ask where you are located in Virginia?  The Virginia Baptist Library Association has regional "mentors" who will be happy to visit your church library and help you.

    Jackie Harris asked about the fall conference of the Virginia Baptist Library Association held at my church, Temple Baptist in Newport News. (We missed you, Jackie!) Our library team was quite pleased with the turnout (a total of 80 folks participated during the 2-day conference). We heard comments about the good food, great instructors, important discussions and topics. Vendors of library supplies and other individuals donated some lovely gifts for door prizes which added to the fun. I hope everyone went home renewed in spirit to do the ministry of church library work.

    Maxine, What a true blessing you are to my heart! Sitting here in rainy Virginia like a gloomy-gus and your smiling face appears on my computer screen, praising the Lord! With your permission I will print what you've just said and have Jewel Barger (our new president) read it to those in attendance at the conference at Temple. Fred W will not be with us - something about family and Hawaii - can you imagine such a thing?! Always good to hear from you and look forward to seeing you at Ridgecrest.

Forum

Let's talk Book Clubs and Reading Groups

On October 21, 2023 while we are together in Richmond, we are going to share our experiences and ideas about book clubs. I thought it would be fun to continue to share our stories beyond the conference. So I am setting up a forum for our conversations going forward about our book clubs and reading groups so that I can put the link in our handout. Can't wait to be with all of you on Zoom. Surely do wish I could be with you in person! Morlee
