Library News, October 2010
As I write this column summer is becoming a memory and fall is knocking on the door. AS we all settle back into routine, I would like to bring you up-to-date with some new developments in the Library.
Major Projects for 2010-11
- Library Database: Karin Carlson has created a library database which when all the data is entered will provide author, title and subject access to the library collection and produce a shelf list so we can do an inventory of the books. Thank you, Karin.
- Library Publicity: Starting this month, we will be writing a regular column in the Communicator which will include information about the library activities and book reviews of new and existing Library titles.
- Collection Development: The Library Committee has a small budget to order books for 2010-11. The focus will be on UU titles since there are not many UU resources available locally.
Computer Donation
The Library has received a donation of an old desk top computer, monitor and printer the from Marilyn’s father-in-law Bob Brooke. It will be used for the Library catalogue.
Book Donations
We thank you for your book donations which help to develop the library collection. We just ask that they be timely and related to our collection development goals e.g., UU resources, other religions, UU social action issues and worship material and resources. Note that not all books donations may be placed in the library collection since we have limited shelf space and sometimes receive duplicate resources. If you are leaving your donations in the Library, please include a note indicating that they are library donations since books for the Book Sale have also been dropped off there.
New Titles

How to Find and Borrow a Library Book
- Go to the library and look for the shelf number on the cover or spine of the book e.g. 814 AN EM.
- Start from the left hand side of the book stacks by the fireplace and move around the room to your right a section at a time.
- You will find the books in numerical order, so go along until you find the number e.g. 814 and then the letters e.g. AN then EM on the book. (If you have trouble finding the book check with one of the librarians at church on Sunday and they will help you.)
- VERY IMPORTANT. Please check the book out don’t just take it home, so we have a record of where the book is and who has it. The check-out procedure is on a stand-up sign on the library desk.
The Committee, Rosemary George, Carla Moore, and Marilyn Brooke, would enjoy hearing from you if you have any ideas or concerns.
