"Each year more than one million children are killed in the U.S. and Canada through abortion." When contemplated this number is truly staggering as well as heart rending and should bring all of us to our knees before our Creator God in repentance. Thank you for speaking out for those who have no voice of their own.
We recently did a construction project in our church and our head librarian successfully "lobbied" our council to move our library out of the basement into a large hallway upstairs with easier access. It was made more inviting in the process. I wish I could attach a picture to let you see it. A gifted carpenter of our church made book shelves to match existing woodwork. A padded window seat (with storage cubes underneath) was added under the original stained glass window. A matching antique dresser became the storage for librarian supplies. The collection was reduced due to space constrictions, but still contains a variety of options for a variety of interests. It is no longer behind a locked door and self-serve check out is allowed during the week. It has been a worthwhile change and we've found that even with all the other options available for reading there are a number of people who still like to hold an actual book in their hands.
