First Presbyterian Church of Arlington

 

FPCA Library

The church library is open whenever the church is open, so you can come in and check out books any time you are in the church. Or just come in, sit down and read for a while.  Look for the comfy rocking chair!

Click here to read about books recently added to the FPCA Library.

There are books to help you learn, to entertain you, to comfort you.  There are books for children and adults of all ages.  We have a selection of fiction for children and a few fiction offerings for adults.  There are tapes and videos you can just take home and return without going through the check-out procedure. There is a collection of books in memory of Janie Wessler, who was our Music leader for a long time.  

You may donate a book to the library, in honor or in memory of someone.  Or just donate a book you would like to share with others.  Gently used books are acceptable. 

When you find a book you want to take home, you just need to write your name on the checkout list.  When you return the book, place it in the return box and mark your name off the list.  There is no real time limit on checkouts, but you should keep in mind that someone else might need that book, so return it as soon as you finish with it.

There is always the need for people to be library helpers.  These people are not necessarily trained librarians but people  who do various library-related tasks, to keep our library well stocked and tidy. The library team meets at 7 pm on the first Wednesday of the month. There are also opportunities for day-time work sessions, so if you cannot come at night, you could put in a few hours of work during one of these sessions.

The Team is busy now processing all the current library books so that the information for the books will be in a database.  When that job is done, there will be a computer in the library, making it easier to find the book you are looking for.
