There are several places to see books each Sunday. The sign up sheets and all books pertaining to Unitarian Universalism are in the breezeway. We find this most convenient for visitors. But the larger selection of books are on the kitchen counter and a table in the climate-controlled comfort of the kitchen  for more leisurely contemplation. Also, it reduced the table impact to the walkway from six tables to two, so that there is more room for smaller tables for special causes.  When you enjoy browsing our excellent book selection, remember all those who labor behind the scenes to make this possible.  Perhaps you would like to part of this team?    contact:  Dottie Kelly, Adult Programs

New Books at the Book table from

Beacon Press and Skinner House

Beacon Press is a non-profit publisher, founded in 1854 by the American Unitarian Association and currently a department of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA).  Beacon publishes non-fiction books on timely and progressive issues, as well as poetry and fiction.  Skinner House, also a part of the UUA, publishes books intended primarily for Unitarian Universalists. As UU's, we can be proud of these publishers.  One of the goals of the book table is to make our congregation aware of the books and provide opportunities for you to purchase them.  Please stop by the book table on Sunday mornings to peruse and shop.

In the hallway along the patio, off the Fellowship Hall, are shelves containing a variety of books that are available for loan.  They are topics that are usually of interest to those who subscribe to the Unitarian principles.  They are for enjoyment of the person borrowing but it is also expected that they be returned for the future enjoyment of many other readers.     Please see attachments Using the Library and the Hall Library inventory.
