\nCompleted in 1902, this library is a unique gift to the congregation and the greater
\ncommunity. The vision Mr. Himmelreich, a member of our congregation and
\nbusinessman, first had for the library was a collection of books that were in harmony
\nwith the Bible and were available for his Sunday School classes and the public.
\nWithout changing Mr. Himmelreich\u2019s vision, the library continues to grow and to make
\nmore resources available. We have books, audio books on compact discs, DVD\u2019s ,
\nperiodicals, and music on compact discs \u2013 covering fiction, non-fiction, and Christian
\nreference \u2013 for every member of the family.
\nAll are available to members of the public to use on-site in our beautiful Reading Room,
\nor may be checked out with a library membership.<\/p>\n
