Welcome to your church library. It exists to inspire and enable our congregation to live lives that are honouring to God. It provides books, magazines, videos -VHS and DVD’s -, CD’s, books on CD’s and sermon CD’s to entertain, teach and guide individuals of all ages in Christian living and help them become true followers of Christ.

 

Inspiration

“Be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” Ro. 12:2

 

Library materials reflect solid theology and/or Christian values. Purchases for the library are based primarily, but not exclusively, on resources not available in the general library system. Donations are accepted and carefully assessed prior to shelving. Trinity Associate Priest, Lance Dixon, oversees the overall vision of the library.

 

The library is open on Sundays, at coffee hour between the 9:15 and 11:15 services and for about 20 minutes following the 11:15 service. During the summer the library is open before and after the 10:00 service.

 

The loan period is 3 weeks for all items. To borrow an item, a person must have a family bar code. This is easily done by visiting the library and requesting to become a member.
