The FBCLC Library is an extension of the education ministry of First Baptist Church Liberty City and is located in the front of the Chapel building in room #2. We seek to provide materials that nurture and encourage the believer's walk of faith. We offer over 5000 items for circulation. The collection includes Bible reference materials, a wide variety of religious nonfiction, general nonfiction, biographies, Christian fiction, juvenile books, and children's books; videos, DVDs, CDs and Audio books. If you are interested in reading for spiritual growth, we have a list of books recommended by our pastor. All of these books are available in the church library.
Stop by our library anytime to view our Biblical artifacts display. This collection was assembled by Glenn Bull and was donated to the library by Regina Bull in his memory. The display is available during regular library hours.
The library also has four mobile carts. These are located in the Nursery, Foyer of the Chapel, Gym and the College Class. The carts are supplied with age appropriate materials and self-checkout forms.
Volunteer librarians are Linda Johnson and Debbie Wilkerson. Other volunteers who work tirelessly in the library are Debbie Chustz, Marion Hansard and Mary Lou Taliaferro.
Getting A Library Card
You can be added to the library user list at any time. Just come by the church library or send us an email and we will enter your information to get you signed up for a card. All information is kept on the computer and there is no card to carry around or keep up with.
Volunteering
If you would be interested in helping out in the library, please complete a church ministry commitment card and sign up for the library ministry.
Memorials
If you would like to honor the memory of a family member or friend with a donation to the library, call or come by and we'll fill out a form with all the information needed. Some like to give a certain book, while others prefer to give a dollar amount and leave the choice of books to us. A bookplate will be placed in the book with the name of the person honored and the person(s) making the donation. An acknowledgment is sent to the family member you have chosen, letting them know of your gift.
Donation Guidelines
Our church library is very small, and we need only one copy of items, with a few exceptions. Below are the guidelines for donating items to the library.
1. If items are left in the library without a name or note, we will assume they are being donated and will handle them according to the following guidelines.
2. Materials will be sorted according to current needs. Duplicates will be donated to House of Hope, other libraries or given away.
3. You can receive a list of any items donated for tax purposes.
Attention Teachers
If you recommend books for your class members to read, please send a list of these books to the church library so we can have them ready for circulation when your class members request them.
