We Learn: parish library

The Parish of the Epiphany maintains a library in the Suter Room, containing reference, adult, and children's books as well as a broad selection of CDs, videos, and DVDs. Catalogued and maintained by librarian members of the parish, the entire collection (except for reference materials) is always available for borrowing.

Samplings from the collection are displayed throughout the church buildings--new adult books and books on topics related to the season and Adult Class programs in Hadley Hall, and a rotating sample of children's books in the narthex and outside the Chapel of Praise. In addition, picture books appropriate for the youngest readers are kept in a child-sized "book tower" in the Suter Room.

If you've not checked out the library recently, give it a look... and take home a book or two! And don't forget, books and audio-visual media make excellent memorial gifts. Speak to the clergy for suggestions.
