FREE BOOKS. Our church library has?a large number of books to be given away at this time.? Many of the books are from the Doug Rae library, donated to the church many years ago.? Rev. Rae had a huge library, and many of the books have been incorporated into our currently shelved items.? When we contacted the Rae family, they didn’t request our sending any of the remaining books to them, so we are offering those books to church members.? Also available to you are other books that have been removed from our shelves and/or donated and not taken into our system.?The books are on the table in the library.? Please help yourself.?
