Parish Library

Over the last several years the number of people visiting the Library each week has steadily declined. Some parishioners want to continue borrowing items occasionally, so wish the Library to remain open, yet it is not the best use of our Librarians' time to staff the Library each week for few or no visitors. Thus, we are making some changes. The Library will continue to be open Sunday mornings during the pancake breakfasts. At those times we will offer storytelling for the children or perhaps will show a children's video. Since the library itself is well used for meetings, we are instituting an “honour system” for anyone who, perhaps during a meeting coffee break, wanders through the stacks and finds a book, CD or DVD of interest. These people will be able to check these items out for themselves. All materials can be returned at any time through the slot in the library door. We are fortunate in having a parish library, a resource which few parishes enjoy. If anyone wishes to join the conversation about the future of the library, please email mglander@telus.net
