​Using the Library: Finding, Borrowing, and Returning Books
​
You are welcome to come and borrow books whenever you wish, but please check with the church office prior to your visit. The library is housed in the reception room at the back of the parish hall.
​
The Library is open for quiet reading and browsing on Tuesdays from 11:00-2:00.
​
Circulation is self-service. Signs posted in the library explain how to borrow books, and when and where to return them. Please remember, when you sign the borrower's card, to include the date you are borrowing the book AND your phone number or e-mail address.
​
The catalogue is available online. Here are some instructions and tips to make your browsing experience smoother:
1. Go to the search bar near the top of the page.
2. Type in a word, or some keywords words in the search bar. Then press enter or the magnifying glass icon to the right of the search bar. You will see the results of your search come up.
3. You can then sort the results by Author, Title, Year Published relevance.
A useful trick is to keep your query simple. Just the author's surname or just the first 1 or 2 words of a title.
CAVEAT: If we have books that match your query, the WebSearch may tell you that you may "Request To Borrow Checked Item(s)". Alas, we cannot provide that service at this time. Jot down the Call Number of the book and come into the Library.
