Your Kamloops United Church Library strives to keep our shelves stocked with reading materials that are current and appealing to those who seek spiritual enrichment and reflect current times both in the sacred and secular worlds.  
We are constantly adding new books for adult and young readers alike.

While we operate on an annual budget books are very expensive and we augment the budget by putting out books for sale most Sunday mornings.  These books are mostly donated and some are library discards. The sale of these books goes
towards library supplies and the purchase of special books we might otherwise miss out on.

New books are to be found very frequently on our Library table and book cart in the fellowship hall on Sunday mornings. Here is a list of books recently purchased:

News FROM THE LIBRARY May 2005

Your KUC Library group has had a busy and productive year.  We are given an annual budget but avail ourselves of different ways to augment that budget and indeed to repay a large part of it.

Last November we held a book and cookie sale that profited us with over $300.00 which was turned back in to Church revenue.  We hope to do another book and cookie sale this year but will make it earlier, perhaps in September.  Please save your books!

This spring Irene Covington gifted us with $300.00  from sales of her pins. Irene has been a longtime friend of the KUC Library and we so appreciate her love and consideration.

We frequently put out donated books for sale on Sunday mornings and this source of petty cash helps to purchase  library supplies.

There have been many new books added to the library this year.  We try our best to have a wonderful variety for both adult and juvenile readers.  We welcome requests from congregation, clergy, group leaders and so on.

As with the public library we do have the ongoing issue of overdue books.  There is no set time for returning books, (we like our readers to have time to connect with a good book ), however when more than a month goes by we feel it is only fair to expect that books will be returned.  Some of our books are gone for six months to a year and some never find their way home!

It does give us real joy though, to see that the books are going out and we encourage borrowing not only on Sunday mornings but during the week as well when the library key is available from Sharon in the office.
