Psalm 111:10: The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his
precepts have good understanding.  To him belongs eternal praise.  
Mission
    The Trinity Lutheran Church Library Committee seeks to provide both print and non-
    print material which strengthens the educational work of the church, increases
    knowledge of our own faith and others, enriches our worship life, provides information
    on social and economic issues, fosters an appreciation of good books and deepens
    our relationship with Jesus Christ. Adult and youth of Trinity are encouraged to visit the
    library and check out materials for home loan.  (Directions for checking out library
    materials are posted prominently on the wall.)  

    The Trinity Lutheran Church Library Committee is a member of the National Church
    Library Association.
Adult Service Opportunities - Library
    Any adult member of Trinity is welcome to join the Library Committee.

    The leader of the Library Committee collects information from the National Church
    Library Association which is relevant to the group.  The leader is also responsible for
    organizing the monthly working meetings.

    Members of the Library Committee monitor the usage of books, videos and
    cassettes in the church library as well as reviewing them for appropriateness.  
    Members also provide written reviews of library topic areas for the congregation which
    are published every other month in the church newsletter.  The church narthex book
    rack is maintained by Library Committee members.  Books are rotated in the book rack
    seasonally.  
Youth Service Opportunities - Library Committee
    Youth who use the library can help by following the checkout procedures and by
    returning books to the designated drop-off location within the posted time frame.
Giving Opportunities - Library Committee
    The library committee accepts the donation of new books and/or monetary donations
    for the purchase of new library materials.  The Committee would also like to be able to
    purchase DVDs in the near future.
