The Library has a small collection of children's books that are shelved in the hallway of the east side of the second floor. Because this collection is such a small part of the total collection, we have chosen to focus on religious books for children in our purchasing. We will have books that many public libraries will not have, so please remember this collection in your planning for preaching or teaching. We do have other children's books as well, and those can also serve as resources for ministry.
An excellent tool suggesting how you might use some of this collection can be found in JOY AND WONDER IN ALL GOD'S WORKS. This is a three volume set that takes every lectionary passage for all three years of the Revised Common Lectionary and matches it with a children's book. The set is out of print and impossible to find, and the book titles may be out of print as well, but it is still a very useful companion for preachers and teachers and I have a dream that some day we'll be able to do an updated version of this book online on the Library website!
