Browsers Welcome


 

Welcome to our blog.    This page is being created for the users and prospective users of our library at West Hills.  Through this avenue we hope to keep you better informed as we add media to the library and introduce new ways to utilize this wonderful space in our church.
On September 22, 2012, three members of the Library Committee attended a Library Conference at Crievewood Baptist Church in Nashville.  This conference was celebrating 50 years of  Tennessee Church Library Ministry.  The training was sponsored by The Tennessee Baptist Convention and The Wayne Todd Church Library Fund.  We came back to West Hills with more enthusiasm and a greater desire to share our library with you.    It is very exciting to share and learn about how others are using their library to enrich the lives of their congregation.


Be patient with us as this is a learning experience for a committee consisting of mostly "oldies but goodies" who are trying really hard to bring you today's technology as best we can.  We would gladly welcome any volunteers who would like to join us in this project.


Pray for us as we serve in this ministry of  our church.

October is Church Library Month 

What a great time to introduce a new way to share what we have available in our library.  Each month we will post information about new additions to our library.  This will enable you to browse at your leisure and choose what you would like to read or view.

We will also post our library "Wish List" on a regular basis.  We rely on your donations to expand our library selections.  Please keep us in mind when you need just that right gift for someone special.  What a great way to say Happy Birthday, Congratulations, I Love You or You're Special..

Cape Light Series by Thomas Kinkade
Cape Light is a charming village on the New England coast where folks enjoy a strong sense of community, and everybody cares about their neighbor. There are 12 books in the series and they have something for everyone. Love stories, politics, mystery, heartbreak and inspiration. The underlying theme is the residents’ dependence on God to see them through the rough times. The Cape Light series shows us how faith can carry you through the toughest situations. Light reading that will entertain as well as inspire the reader.
Thank you to Cindy Gibbs for this book review.
