If you have been looking for the familiar blue crate in which to return your borrowed library materials, it has been retired after many years of faithful service.  Taking its place is a new cloth-lined basket located straight ahead as you walk into the library.

On the shelf right above the returned materials basket is another smaller basket containing blank comment forms.  If you would like to provide some commentary about your experience with church library books or videos to share with other church library users, we would love to hear your feedback.  Reviews can be anonymous and will be posted in our online library catalog.  There is a return basket for completed forms right next to the basket containing the blank forms.

The library computer is sporting a spiffy new flat panel monitor.  Shortcuts on the library computer desktop can be used to navigate directly to the church library online catalog.  The library pages on the church web site continue to evolve with more information about the library collection and how to more effectively find what you are looking for in the collection.  The URL for the church library web pages is http://www.stjohnlutheran.org/lib.htm.  There is even a link to this church library blog that you are presently reading.

All of these changes, both in the library and online, are being made in an attempt to make the contents of the library more accessible to the members of our congregation.  Please stop by if you have a chance, either in person or online, to browse the collection of faith-enriching materials.  If you have any questions about finding materials in the library or using the library web pages, please contact the church librarian using this e-mail link.
