Who can use the library's
resources? |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
Anyone, member or non-member of FBC Trussville
alike. Although the Sedric Mann Memorial Library is committed to
supporting all of First Baptist’s programs and members in whatever way
possible, we also share our resources and |
|
services outside our membership. Consequently,
the SMML enjoys a reputation as a major source of resources and
informational assistance throughout the entire Trussville area. |

What
do you have for adults? |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
Most people think of a
church library as something for kids. That is not so in the SMML. In
additional to the resources available for Bible study and Christian
living, the SMML has an extensive |
|
Christian fiction section. The SMML also
offers resources on marriage, divorce, child rearing, personal finance,
hobbies, sports, travel and history. |

What
resources are available? |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
In addition to
informational resources, the SMML offers a number of creative resources
such as an extensive Ellison die cut system and a collection of
international objects appropriate for missions programs or exhibits. The
|
|
library is also informally known throughout
the church as a resource for "emergency" supplies such as spare
thumbtacks, extra safety pins or peppermint candy. If you don’t have what
you need, ask Connie! |

What are some special programs? |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
Our highly successful
Children’s Summer Reading Program recently celebrated its thirteenth year
with kids ages 3 through sixth grade reading tens of thousands of books
over the years. In 2003, we instituted an Adult Summer Reading Program,
which was enjoyed by over 27 of our senior friends. |
|
Story time is held in the SMML twice a month
for the children in our five-year-old kindergarten program. The children
are first introduced to the library with a story about caring of books. On
each visit, the children are allowed to select one book to carry home and
enjoy for two weeks. |
