The church library has been renamed as of March 1, 2008.  It will now be known as the

 

DR. NANCY MAHUSAY MEMORIAL LIBRARY

 

 

Its original name was the Ellen Morris Memorial Library, after Nancy's Mother, because most of the non-fiction books before hurricane Charlie came from Ellen Morris' personal collection.  Sisters Connie Johansen and Linda Insley, will resume taking care of the library which has been restored after Hurricane Charley thanks to the untiring effort of Nancy.  We decided it was only fitting to rename the library after Nancy Mahusay.  Funds were donated by family members to purchase a new plaque and additional needed supplies.  We will be adding a few more books and tapes soon from Nancy's collection.

 

The largest number of books is in the Christian Fiction section because it is the most frequently checked out.  A great number of these have been donated by Gail Thornton.   The second largest is the Christian Living section under #248.  This section includes a number of sub themes. 

 

The card catalog file contains cross-referenced cards, alphabetically filed.  This is the best way to find exactly what you are looking for.

 

The 2008 inventory has not been completed but will be soon.  Books will be removed for wear and tear, and some for lack of interest. 

 

If you have a book you would like to donate, simply place it in the "Returned Books" box and we will retrieve it.  Please note that not all donated material will be deemed suitable for our church library.  Books not accepted will be donated to other appropriate libraries.

 

                                    Your librarians, Connie Johansen and Linda Insley.
