CRLC Library
The library is in the Chapel View Room on the upper level at the rear of the building. Take the hall past the offices and around to the back. The library books are all neatly arranged on shelves in the room that’s used most often for meetings and study groups.
The shelves are marked so visitors can easily find a book to read and there’s no need to “sign out” a book or present a library card; just take what interests you and bring it back when you’ve finished. (If you can remember where you found it, you can even reshelf it for someone else to borrow.)
