Service Sunday

Did you miss the library table at Service Sunday on Sept. 17? It's not too late to get involved in this ministry.

We're always looking for new faces to join our team of Library Assistants. If you can operate a date stamper and put items in alphabetic and numeric order, you've got all the skills you need to help!

Library assistants work a 30 minute shift Sunday mornings between the two services on a rotating basis (once every 4-6 weeks). Duties include helping patrons, checking out materials, reshelving returned items and tidying shelves as needed. It's a great way to get to know Tenth Church members and regular attenders.

We have other special needs throughout the year. As new books are added to the library, they must be processed for circulation ("accessioning"). In the coming months, we hope to process a large number of items all at once during a special work day. Training would be provided. This event could count as "library science" credit for homeschooling children.

We also need assistance mainatining the card catalog. From entering data into cataloging software to printing and filing cards: it's a great way to serve the church by making the library more user friendly.

Tenth Library needs you! Contact Sylvia Duggan at syduggan@verizon.net for more information.

For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them. --Romans 12:4-6a
