Donations and Endowments

 

 

 

 

Families may choose to establish a memorial through the library at the death of a loved one, or in celebration of important family events such as anniversaries or birthdays. The library committee will provide a list of needed books or materials if requested. The committee also maintains an ongoing memorial fund used for special library projects and acquisitions. Donations of used books are welcome. If the selections can be used in the library, they are added to the shelves. The committee also links with social agencies and mission schools who need books and frequently contributes books to their patrons. Recent contributions have been made to Sedgwick County Jail and children’s homes. 

Book Selection 

Because the church library is specialized, the adult collection is primarily religious in nature.  There are, however, books, DVDs and videos that deal with issues of social concern, as well as dealing with other disciplines such as psychology, ethics, sociology, and selected fiction.  The library has an outstanding collection of books, DVDs and videos for children of all ages.  Requests for books of interest are happily accepted.
