St. George's Library
Library Hours
Monday-Friday.: 8:30am-3:30pm
Sunday: 7:00am-12:30pm
St. George’s Church is fully engaged in learning opportunities for spiritual growth, worship, parenting, and personal relationships. Our library is an amazing resource center for enriching these study and lecture experiences. Bible study participants will find a large selection of books to augment their studies and they may be checked out, while reference books, perhaps in greater depth, are to be used in the library.
Children and youth will find a great assortment of books in the juvenile section, books that answer serious theological questions in meaningful terms for their level, as well as books that are just plain fun.
The library purchases and lists new books on a regular basis. Did you know that you can remember or honor a friend or relative by selecting and paying for a book from the list? An appropriate name plate will be placed in the book.

Library News
Words are a precious gift to humans, allowing us to communicate thoughts and feelings to one another. Words enable us to teach and to learn, to praise and to admonish, and to lead us to places of adventure or repose. Words are wonder-ful!What are the words your children and grandchildren read?
A very young child might begin with a small, firm book, The Story of Daniel, by Patricia Pingry. (The hardboard pages won’t tear!)
A pre-schooler would enjoy hearing Guess How Much I Love You by Sam McBratney and Stories Jesus Told by Mary Hoffman and Jackie Morris or the beautifully illustrated Brother Eagle, Sister Sky.
Then there are the popular series books: The Dark Is Rising Sequence by Susan Cooper; The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis; A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket; and such favorites as Unicorns of Balinor, Anne of Green Gables, and Caddie Woodlawn.
St. George’s Library is a place full of many treasures to transport you anywhere you wish to go. And if you are going places—The Holy Land, Africa, England, the Heavenly Kingdom—read about it before you go. That’s part of the preparation and pleasure of travel. Our books are waiting for you!

Bibles at the St. George’s Library
St. George’s Library is featuring a display of Bibles and Prayer Books during June and July. Dr. Nancie Schweikert has loaned a number of interesting items from her collection of sacred books. They will be exhibited in the glass window cases along with Bibles, reference books, and study guides from the library collection. George Langstaff’s nineteenth-century family Bible, on display, is typical of the kind found in many homes in that time period.Some parishioners may not be familiar with the resources to be found in the library. Summer is a good time to browse through the shelves and make discoveries, whether it is for Bible study, devotional reading, or just for pleasure. If you have been one of the recent pilgrims to the Holy Land, you can refresh the experience through some of the books awaiting you in the library.
We invite you to visit the Bible exhibit with friends and family. Check out a book and enrich your life.
