Our Library
About Our Library Collection:
The First Unitarian Church has a well-stocked Library of about two thousand books on a variety of subjects of interest to Unitarian Universalists. Books on all aspects of religion, including world religions, are available as well as books on philosophy, psychology, the environment, social justice issues, literature, biographies and history. We keep a card catalogue of our holdings and book lists on specific topics are posted on this web site.
Check out our magazine subscriptions.
Check out some of our books on selected themes.
How to Access Our Collection:
The Library is usually staffed with a Library Team member one half hour before and after Sunday services. The Library is located off the hallway of the Sanctuary, beside the back Door of the Church.
Any Church member may borrow items from the Library. The loan period is four weeks for books and magazines. Visitors may borrow materials with a member's sponsorship (the member signs the book out on behalf of the guest and is responsible for returning it).
If a member wishes to borrow a library item and there is nobody on duty, there is a 'self-service' basket available for members to sign out materials.
You’re welcome to use the library any time there isn’t a meeting there – the door is never locked and self –service is easy. Please write your name, phone number and a date 4 weeks from the time you’re there on the card inside each book and leave that card in the basket under the window.
How to Support Our Library:
There are several ways we can support the work of Our Library.
- Volunteer to be on the Library Team or participate in one of its events.
- Donations of quality new and used books of interest to Unitarians for the Library or for occasional Book Sales are welcome.
- Members are also welcome to suggest titles for future Library acquisitions.
- And everyone is welcome to come in to just sit and enjoy browsing the collection.
