“This small volume can be a valuable resource. In it, you will find no creed of belief to which you must subscribe to be a Unitarian Univer-salist, no statement of doc-trine. Unitarian Universal-ists value the in-dividual spiritual journey and be-lieve that there is no one right way to lead a religious life. For us, reli-gion is ultimately not about what you think. Religion is about how you live. Ours is a faith of deeds, not creeds.”

UUCLC Lending Library

There is a notebook that accompanies the UUCLC Lending Library. Each book in the library has a sheet in this notebook for logging check-outs

and returns. The sheets are arranged in alphabetical order by title of book with other identifying information that can include name of author, pub-lisher and what edition of the book (i.e. hardcover, trade paperback or mass market).

Additional supplies (borrower’s cards, date stamp, etc.) are kept in a file box.

When a borrower wishes to take a book from the UUCLC Lending Library, please follow this procedure:

Checking out books:1. Record the borrower’s name, e-mail address and date of check-out (the date of the current Sunday service) on the notebook sheet corresponding to the book in the lending library.2. Remove book’s sheet from its place in the binder and place in the binder’s inside back cover pocket.3. Take a borrower’s card from the file box, stamp or write-in due date (four weeks from date of check-out) and slip into envelope on the book’s inside front cover.

Checking books back in:1. If the book has a borrower’s card in the envelope in its inside front cover, retrieve this card and return to file box.2. Retrieve book’s status sheet from pocket in inside back cover of binder.3. Note date of book’s return and replace its sheet in alphabetical order back among the others in binder.4. Once book has been logged back in, it can be replaced on the shelf.

Welcome! As a visitor or as a member of this congregation,

we hope you will make use of the UUCLC Lending Library.

The lending library is housed inside the annex at the Kelseyville Senior Center. It contains a wide variety of books.

If you are new to Unitarian Uni-versalism, you may want to consider the “Unitarian Universalist Pocket Guide.” Various writers have contrib-uted essays addressing the UU faith, ministry, religious education, work for social justice and diversity and roots. It includes important dates in Unitarian Universalist history and information about the UUA and the Church of the Larger Fellowship.

Other books explore other aspects of spirituality and religion — and some are, quite simply, a good read!

Please follow the procedure to the right if you would like to borrow a book.

Note that the library is not a book swap or exchange. If you remove a book, please return it. Many of the books were donated by members of our community with a desire to en-rich the entire congregation.
