West End Library

How it Works

  • Browse the library catalog online or in-person! Use the catalog to locate by title, topic, or author or visit during library hours on Sundays from 8 a.m. until noon to find your next read.

  • Visit the third floor library to check out your selection. Once your book is in-hand, find it using the online library catalog and click the green “Check Out” button. Your Patron ID is the e-mail address you have listed in the Church Center app.

    View the step-by-step guide.

  • You have three weeks per check out or renewal to enjoy your book. Email reminders arrive in your inbox a few days before the book is due. You can renew your book up to two times. To return your book, use basket in the church library.
