When I was little, our church had a library, with a librarian who was there on Sundays to help us find things and check books out. These days a lot of churches are doing away with their libraries. In some cases, the church feels like its library just duplicates the work of the local public library. Libraries these days, much more so than when I was growing up, use a lot of technology, which many churches can’t really put in place, for a variety of reasons. But I believe that, even if we give away the books in the rooms we had once set aside for that purpose, every church still has a library.
