Mountford Library
Our library offers a broad range of books and audiovisual materials, inviting readers to explore their spirituality, beliefs, relationships in light of their beliefs, as well as the role of the church in helping them achieve their life goals. Recently, the library received donations of DVDs and other resources when the Queenswood Library closed. Check out the new books acquired by the library in 2010 and 2011. Topics you will find in our collection include:
- Children’s books
- Bible studies (classical and current research)
- Devotional and inspirational works
- Church history (Christianity and United Church)
- Help with personal problems, pain, healing, death, consolation
- Church ministry
- Crafts
- Biography and some fiction
- Reviews of books in our collection (see below for recent additions)
Library committee 2010
Call numbers for all library materials can be found in a printed catalogue (in three binders), by author, title, and subject.
Volunteer and Children's library cart
Books may be borrowed for 3 weeks, and renewed if not requested by another reader.
Library volunteers can provide a list of library books related to your church programs, and can provide a book display for special events. Send your requests to the church office, and they will forward them to library committee members.
We welcome recommendations for additions to the collection. Please drop off your suggestions in the library.
We are happy to accept donations of books. (If we cannot use them, we may sell them at book sales to help raise funds for new books.)
Financial donations and bequests for new books are gratefully accepted!
