  • VA Church Library Association had 65+ in attendance for our Spring Conference in Lynchburg.  We were thrilled to have North Carolina librarians join us for "Hand in Hand - Libraries Without Borders".  We welcomed librarians from Maryland, too!   Great workshop leaders and great fellowship.  Looking forward to our Fall Conference on Oct. 9-10 at North Run Baptist Church in Richmond.  Keep reading!

  • Hi, I am the church librarian at Mt. Pleasant Baptist in Colonial Heights. I am new to not only this site, but librarianing in general . I saw that there are area mentors, and I would love any help with getting our library ministry organized and MINISTERING (instead of just existing, collecting dust, and marching towards obsoleteness). Colonial Heights is about 15 miles south of Richmond.

  • I was in a church yesterday where they just had a large plastic tote on top of a table outside the door. It had a sign on it saying book return.

  • jhite@libertylive.com  Lynn here we have senior adult men who like to do projects and repairs around the church.  Have you thought about asking one of them if they could build  you one.  Another simple solution would be a piece of plywood add the wheels to the bottom corners and sit a plastic container on it and roll it under the drop slot.  Joan Hite

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
