Are you having trouble finding a book in the Reading Room? Here is the secret to finding that book that you have been trying to locate. The notebooks on the counter next to the sink list all the processed books and are alphabetical by title (black notebook) and alphabetical by author (green notebook). Look up your desired book. Once you have found your book by title or by author, look for the BARCODE column at the far right. Note the barcode number that corresponds with your book—that is the key to success in finding your book. Go to the Reading Room shelves. All processed books are currently shelved in barcode numerical order. The shelves are marked numerically to guide you. The barcode is located on the back of the book in the upper right corner (see the sample barcode below). This solution only applies to books in the Reading Room. Young Adult and Juvenile books are bar-coded but not shelved numerically. The librarians will be happy to help you find books in that department. Please leave us notes with your questions or requests. Thanks so much for your patience. We are getting closer to spine labels and the Dewey Decimal System.

Lent & Advent Books

The Advent Books and Lent Books are seasonal publications that are authored entirely by the Lay members of Faith Church. These Lay contributions consist of stories, poems, essays, Scriptural commentaries, and prayers that provide spiritual meditations for each day throughout the Advent and Lent seasons. This ministry has always been a popular outreach for Faith Church and we hope that this tradition will continue.
