Book Marks - October 2006

New Library Hours:

The library is available for use at any time during the week. Inquire at the church office if the door is locked. A librarian will be available to answer questions and provide assistance on Sunday mornings: 9:45-11:00 and after worship for 15 minutes.

New Look in the Library:

As part of recent efforts to evaluate and make the best use of our building, the library has a new look. We welcome Sunday school secretary Betty Hunnicutt, whose work space has recently been relocated to the library. The furniture has been rearranged to provide a more intimate and study friendly environment and we have also added a table and chairs. The library will no longer be used as a Sunday school meeting space on a regular basis and we invite you to take advantage of that time to stop by and browse or read before worship.

New Acquisitions:

A list of newly acquired books purchased with the proceeds from the book sale will soon be available on the library bulletin board and on the library’s website.

Comments, questions, and suggestions are always welcome. Send them to library@druidhillsumc.org.
