How to check books out -- and back in

Trying to keep it simple, we're using a card system for checking out books in our lending library.

When you decide to check out a book, write your name and the date the book will be due back (3 weeks from the day you check it out). Put that card in the manilla Check-Out Cards envelope at the top, left-hand shelf on the book rack.

When you return the book, pull that card out of the envelope. Cross out your name and stick the card back into the pocket in the front of the book. Return the book to the book cart.

If you need more time, write the new date (again, 3 weeks from the date you are renewing it), and put the card back into the envelope.

Simple, straight-forward, honor system.

Remember our ministry goal, to equip everyone for the Kingdom life, and check out something that speaks to a need or a question in your life.

Remember that checking out a book is a Vote for the Book, to ward off weeding =)

And hurrah! New books were donated today! They are excellent resources, and something will have to go, to make room for them. Which books are YOU using?
