Who May Borrow From the Library?
Any member of a Western District, South Central, or Mountain States congregation is welcome to check out materials.

Is There a Limit to What I May Borrow?
No. You may borrow what you need, but return everything by due date so others may benefit from our resources.

How Long May I Keep Materials?
Books and videos are loaned for three weeks to individuals and two months in bulk loans (Box of Books) to churches. Current periodicals circulate for one week, back issues for one month. Overdue fines accrue after a grace period of two weeks.

Who Pays For the Materials?
Funds are provided primarily by the Western District Resource Commission. Private donations are always appreciated.
