This comfortable and attractive area on the mezzanine level of the Gathering Space is available both in the daytime and evenings for individual reading and study as well as for small group study. The library contains religious books, magazines and A-V materials, some of which can be signed out while others are meant to be used only in the library.
Adult Education encourages adults to take advantage of the opportunity to use this facility. There is also a children’s section which consolidates all children’s materials – music, books and video. Thus the library gives adults and children their own dedicated space.
