Resources
Over 9,000 items for adults and children. We have an exciting collection of brand new and classic books, audio books, and DVDs. Explore our resources, listed below, or access the Library's online database.
Books
The Library's adult collection is divided into the following categories: The Arts, Bible Studies, Biography, Fiction, Methodism, History, Personal Growth, Social Justice, Spiritual Growth, and Parenting.
We have a large selection of children's fiction and nonfiction and a growing collection of young adult books. There is a special section of children's books called "Junior Concerns" to help children through life's challenges (anxiety and perfectionism, grief, illness, changes, bullying, emotional challenges, interpersonal relationships, etc.).
The Library supports the United Methodist Women's Reading Program. We have selections from the reading list - which includes adult, youth, and children's books - on a special shelf in the Library where you will also find more information about the program.
