Our library is small but growing!

As of early 2009 we have a total of 2142 Christian books for
Adults, Youth, and Children, as well as 449 various
Christian Videos/DVDs.  New items may be added weekly.

Organization:

- Non Fiction Adult Books are categorized
  under the Dewey Decimal System.

- Adult Christian Fiction is arranged alphabetically
  by authors' surnames.

- Youth and Children's books are arranged by
  series and by age groups.

Checkout System:

The checkout system is simple, using two checkout binders
- one for books, the other for videos. 

Returned books & videos are to be placed in the blue plastic
Book/Video Return bin on the floor by the entrance to the library. 
A librarian will check & refile items to the shelves.

Library Index:

An Index Binder on the library table contains alphabetical
indexes of all library items, and is updated every 2-3 months.

Requests:

Requests for particular books, videos/DVDs, or other materials
are welcomed. Please speak with the librarian.

Donations:

Book or video donations are welcomed.  The donors realize that
all donated materials are left for the librarian's discretion regarding
suitability for the library.  Unneeded materials may be given away.

Operation:

We operate under the Honour System, as our library is often not
manned, and is totally open and available to everyone.  May
God Bless our readership and our library.

For Our Library

 The main goals of our library here at First Baptist Church of
 Penticton BC, are to provide a collection of books, videos/DVD's
 and related materials for members and friends which will:

 1.  Serve all who want to grow in their understanding of
      the Christian Faith, their knowledge of God, their walk
      with God's Spirit, and their desire to know Jesus Christ
      as their Lord and Saviour;

 2.  Encourage Christian responses to life situations and
      experiences, through faith and a growing understanding
      of the Spiritual Life;

 3.  Provide for, and support the ministries of our church, that
      we all may keep striving to learn, and to grow in our faith.
