Setting Up a Church Resource Library

Discover some ideas of what a church resource library might look like. 

Getting started:

1) Place

Find a place in your church where you could set up a resource library. This library can serve many purposes and the space should reflect the purpose that you determine is most appropriate for your church (reading room, checkout library, bible distribution, church ministry information, etc.). This could be an extra room, a bookshelf, a bulletin board, a shelf, a table, etc. Be creative and find what works best in your setting.
