This is like the spot at the beginning of church services where the latest news is shared. Similarly if you’re late, you can always go back later and find out somewhere in print what you missed. Check here for the latest news!
Remember users of CELC Library can also leave comments that will go to the church librarian/webmaster. Thank you for using our library.

The library remains in storage, but books related to specific times of the year are being stored by the librarian in her home to bring out and feature as needed. New Christian Music CDs will no longer be cataloged. Instead a basket with an honor system of checkout, “Take – Listen – Return” has been placed on the cart where items are available during construction. Now that a time in the church and chronological year has arrived with no holidays, donated books are being added to the collection and featured on the cart.

Calvary has begun its building renovation which includes moving the library into Storage! The storage is not going to be accessible. Because of that, all holiday, including books related to the coming 400th anniversary of Luther’s 95 theses have been set aside by the librarian to feature. Right now that featured area is just outside Pastor Jonathan’s office, but will probably have to move at times. Look for it. If you want something that is among the holiday material and it’s not on display let the librarian know. Children’s videos are being kept at present by the Youth Ministry, so ask Terri. Returns should be laid on the display area or, better yet, in the library mailbox.

Unlike the beginning of services at church, there have been surprisingly few reasons to make an announcement this year. Calvary’s library is 100% volunteer produced. Trying to feature Advent books it became obvious that it’s a good idea to explain how to use the search feature. Advent is also part of the words Adventure, Adventures, Adventuring, and probably more. As a result putting Advent in the search box pulls up many books beyond the season. To find just Advent, look at the end of the brief record where it says “Tagged as.” Also keep clicking where it says “Older posts” until there are no more.
To make holiday and seasonal book finding easier, “Adventuring in Advent” is the first of the Reading Suggestions being added to that section. (There’s a link to Reading Suggestions at the top of each page here.)

All Adult and Juvenile books have been added to the online collection. Right now we’re in the final clean-up of information, Audio has a separate page with a spreadsheet listing our holdings, and a similar list of the Video collection is underway. Then some long overdue additions to the collection will be possible.

The Young Adult collection was completely entered by the end of February. The Adult book collection is 3 or 4 times as large, so it will take longer to list. Prowling books as they are added and also the various Tags and Subject terms are a great way to discover interesting reading. Come visit the library!

This catalog is now starting to add items from the existing card catalog. Because Young Adults are both our church’s future and are especially likely to use the internet, these first items will be the Young Adult collection. ENJOY!
