Write A Book Review!
Have you read a good book lately you’d like to recommend? Please share it with other Calvary readers. The Library Committee is inviting you to write a brief review of the book so we can include it in the green binder in the library marked Book Reviews. Pink book review forms are available in the library to help you write your review but feel free to write in your own style. Check out the reviews other famous Calvary readers have written! Be sure to include your name and author of the book you are reviewing. We are very interested to learn what “Calvary Is Reading.”
The Library Committee
Meets on the first Tuesday of each month from 9:00 a.m. to noon for a meeting/work time. Twice a year this will be changed to a 5:30 p.m. meeting. Members enter data in the computer, prepare new books for circulation, and display and shelve books. The Library Committee can always use new members, so if you are interested contact Calvary’s office. Or stop in the Library between Sunday services when there usually is a member available.
We look forward to seeing you in the Library!
