Children's Library

Dear FPC Families,

One of the many ways in which FPC is unique is that we have a library completely devoted to children and families. The Children's Library is full of quality, pre-screened Christian resources that will help your family develop and nurture a personal relationship with God. Your children will be able to read, watch or listen to Christian material that will reinforce what they are learning at church and at home. Materials available in the library encourage children in the development of Godly character through stories and songs that demonstrate the qualities of a Christian life.
 
Our prayer is that God will use this library to encourage your family as your children grow in their faith. We want it to be a resource for parents as they face the challenges and issues that come with the call of being a parent. We hope it will be a special place of wonder, joy and discovery for children as they get to know our awesome God and for parents as they guide their kids in knowing Him.
 
If you have any comments, questions or suggestions, please contact me any time at atlewisrpr@gmail.com.
 
To suggest books for the library, please use the form on the main library page.

Policies and Procedures

Any member of a family that has a current Family Registration Card on file with the Adult Library may check out resources.
  • Children may not be in the library without parent or adult supervision.
  • Children are not to be in the library during class times or during worship service unless it is part of their class activity.
  • Our Children's Library is designed to serve the infants through eighth graders and their parents.
Each resource has a card attached to it. To check out a resource, simply fill out the card with your name and phone number. Stamp the date on both the card and card pocket, then put the card in the basket on the check-out cart.

Please maintain the following guidelines:
 
Books: 4 per child for 2 weeks
 
Audio Tapes/CDs: 3 per family for 2 weeks
 
Video/DVDs:  3 per family for 1 week
 

Serving in the Children’s Library

If you have a heart for books, Christian education, kids or just service in general we would love to have you come alongside us in ministry by volunteering in the Children's Library.
 
Opportunities for service include storytelling, helping families check out resources, checking resources in and out, and shelving books. While the Library is busiest on Sunday mornings, there are plenty of things to do during the week. No library experience is necessary; training will be provided.
