We've had setbacks of various kinds in getting the library functional, but we are making progress. However, one major setback, only recently discovered, is the mysterious disappearance of most of the  books at Fellowship House. They had not been completely catalogued and many might have been discarded anyway, but no matter, they are gone.

Therefore, the Library Committee is putting out a plea for donations of books. They should be in good condition, old or recent, new or used, fiction or non-fiction. Subject matter can vary widely: religion, ethics, philosophy; history, biography, travel, geography; nature, biology and other sciences, ecology, astronomy; social and political analysis or commentary, government; art, music, drama including librettos and scripts; children's books (all ages); and fiction (novels, historical fiction, science fiction). CDs, DVDs and VHS tapes are also welcome and will be separately shelved for easy access. Eventually, the Library will be organized enough that we will welcome donations of art and other exhibits. If you like, the name of the donor (book donors, too) can be inscribed.
