Library
Ms. Amanda - Our Church Librarian
The Morningstar library was dedicated to the service of Jesus Christ on March 26, 2000…..and it has grown and changed a lot since then. If you were part of Morningstar when we met at Chelsea High School, you will remember those early days when the library consisted of two 5’ x 4’ shelves that could be latched together and rolled into a storage area after services on Sunday morning. And…the shelves were far from being full!
Today, there is now a room dedicated for the library with almost 1,200 books and movies for you and your family to use and enjoy. New items are constantly added. The cataloging process has been automated for check in and check out procedures. Replacing the old card catalog system…and just like public libraries, a computer is available for using Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC), which allows searching every item in inventory.
While the library has changed a great deal from those early days, its purpose for existing has not. To….
introduce people to Christ, help people experience an authentic relationship with Christ, assist people in applying Christian love in their daily lives (you will recognize these as Morningstar’s purpose, too), and provide wholesome materials that include, but are not limited to, recreational, historical, and reference materials.
One thing the library is not is a book warehouse! We invite you to come often and look over the shelves to discover treasurers for yourself and your children. If you are a member of Morningstar or attend regularly, consider this your personal invitation to visit and use Morningstar’s library.
