The Library at FUMCA

BY: ANN WATLEY FUMCA Library Volunteer

First United Methodist Church Adult Library and the Arlington Public Library (APL) are in partnership to serve our faith community. Your library committee has been charged with providing a FUMC library collection to supplement the reading of seminary students, clergy, and Biblical scholars as well as casual readers. Toward that aim, books supporting Bible study, books about Christianity, devotional materials and Christian fiction are currently ready for your checkout and reading. In addition, reference materials are available for use in the library.

Ann Watley, FUMCA library volunteer, tells us a community outreach initiative of the APL is to place the titles of our collection into an on-line catalog. Daniel Bull, an APL cataloger has been charged with this task. Once he completes the entries, you will be able to check FUMCA item ownership on line. A link will then be provided to allow you access to this wonderful resource.

In the meantime, 2,000 titles are already available for your reading and study pleasure! The library is open every Sunday. To access the library at other times, see the office staff. The library is located on the second floor across from the Curriculum Library. You will find comfortable places to read, good lighting, and at least 2000 adventures.
