| St. Bartholomew's has a wonderful
library that is made for browsing. It has over 2600
volumes of reading materials and resources. The
library is conveniently located off the narthex and is
always open on Sunday mornings. Someone in the church office will
gladly let you in at other times. On the left, as you enter, are sections
that are specifically faith oriented, Bible study, comparative religion,
church history, faith and science, etc. On the right, you will find art,
fiction, whodunits, poetry, drama, etc.

To check out books, sign the card in the back and drop the
card in the wooden box on the desk. The best thing about
this library is that everything in it is a gift from
parishioners, not through any fund, but from people giving
their own books, videos, etc. New acquisitions and
material related to current classes or study groups are
displayed on the table, come and see!
Parishioner Meg
Anderson is our volunteer librarian. Contact her for
more information or to make a donation. |
The Library was established in the
early 1990’s by parish associates of the society of St. John the
Evangelist, with Mark Stevens as the initial organizer. The
library contains a rich and eclectic collection of books and
materials for enjoyment, study and spiritual formation, and is
totally reliant on donations and self help! It is open all Sunday
morning and at other times you just need to ask a clergy, staff or
vestry member to open it up. We are all very glad to do so. We
hope you will explore and enjoy it.
