Using the Library
If the Library is OPEN, but there is no Librarian, or Librarian Assistant, in attendance, please wait until they return. They are in the building somewhere.
If the Library is CLOSED, even if you have a key, you may not enter and take any materials, nor check out any books or DVD’s.
Volunteer librarian assistants may check out a book for you during closed times. We are looking for volunteers!
There is NO Self Check out.
Your Library Card/Bookmark goes in your borrowed book or DVD, as a reminder to YOU when they are to be returned. Don’t lose your Library Card!
Reserve a book or DVD
If you forget to bring back your Library Card, you can reserve a book or DVD for up to a week.
If the book or DVD you want is already checked out, you can Reserve it to be next in line.
All of the changes in the library are to create accountability and prevent books and DVDs from being taken and not returned.
Books can be returned during the week!
You can stop by the church and put them in the package mailbox by our church front doors!
Remember
Books can be checked out for 2 weeks. If needed, come back and recheck it out.
No more than 2 books, per person, per check out.
DVDs will be available in a few weeks. DVDs may be checked out for 2 weeks. They will be copies of the original DVD, please take care of them.
No more than 2 checked out per person.
Library Assistants will be helping the librarian to register users and issuing Library Cards, and in assisting users in borrowing books, by checking them out for them.
Volunteers are needed to be assistants for some Sabbaths, weekly meetings and other church events, if users would like to borrow books at that time.
Important – The Hidden Treasures Library is not open to the public.
