Saint Aidan’s Parish Library
A prominent feature of the new Gathering Area or Foyer at St Aidan’s is the Parish Library. The library is an important Parish resource and covers a large number of topics relevant to the Christian life. Many of the books are not found in your local book shop and would otherwise be unavailable for most parishioners.
The library has a wide array of Christian books, from Biblical commentaries and theology texts to biographies, thematic texts and a growing children’s library. Books can be borrowed on Sundays or any weekday that the office is open. The library also has a new DVD collection. Vestry donates a book each month to increase the collection, along with several parishioners who donate very generously. This ministry of St Aidan’s is widely used, by visitors as well as ourselves. If you haven’t already looked through the display, check it out! Recommendations of ‘a good read’ and donations of, or towards, new books are always welcome!
