Easy to Use

Obtain a borrower ID
Click here to print a borrower’s ID form (also available in the library). The completed form can be mailed to the church—write Attn: Library on the envelope. You may also bring the form to the church and place it in the library mailbox (No. 76) in the main reception office.
The ID will be the month and day of your birth plus a letter. For example, 0831B is for a person whose birthday is August 31 and “B” indicates this is the second person on the system with the same birthday.

Checking out books
Check out books on a computer with a bar scan system that can be used anytime. Simple instructions can be found next to the computer.
