A great place to read the paper, chat with friends, find a book to read or do homework, research that place mentioned in your Bible Study, take a quiet moment for yourself....

If you would like to visit the library at any other time besides normal operating hours and the door is locked, please have someone in the office open it for you.

To check out a book or item, write your name on the card in the back of the book or item and leave the card on the desk. The item is due back in 2 weeks. We will count from the day we pick up the card.

If you choose a paperback off the shelf in the middle of the room that doesn't have a card in it, that's because those are swap books. You can take it, keep it, bring it back or bring a different one to replace it if you want. "Freebies," in other words. Sometimes we send them to missionaries or exchange them for other titles at Hall Book Exchange.

If you are interested in joining the Guild, please call Julie Hartley at 770-983-9652. We will train you! We meet about every other month and you are only required to put in two hours of work per month other than meeting times and work shifts.

How You can Help
There are many ways you can help Webster Library keep new books and audio/visual items on the shelves
1. Memorial and honorariums in monetary gifts designated to Webster Library
2. Book Donations: Books you no longer want or need can be brought by the library. We will sort into several categories:
   a. Books to keep for our shelves
   b. Books best exchanged for credit at Hall Book exchange (mainly Christian Fiction)
   c. Books best offered to Eagle Ranch for their library. (Easy and Juvenile fiction and nonfiction)
   d. Books we want to keep for a book sale later on. (yes we will have a sale this year!)
3. Credit from Hall Book Exchange: If you take books to Hall Book Exchange and get credit but you use part or none of it, you can give the credit receipt to Julie Hartley to use to purchase books for the library.
4. Amazon Wish List: For those of you who want to give something tangible as a memorial or honor or even to “pay off” late fees!
5. Pay late fees. 5¢ per items per day, honor system. Let your conscience be your guide. We were spending too much time calculating late fees so we stopped, but most people still pay what they feel they owe.
6. Recommendations: Let us know about new books or items you would like to see in Webster: Books that you’ve read, books you want to read, books you would like as reference for Sunday School or Bible Studies, or perhaps books you are required to read for school. Good family movie titles are also appreciated!

Nov 17, 2008  Wow, I can't believe it is already November!  Since last time, I've read Water for Elephants, Where the River Ends, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, Hot Money, The Winding Ways Quilt, An Irish Country Doctor and the Guernsey Sweet Potato Peel Pie Literary Society which are all good reads.  Snow Flower was the only one I got bogged down in and couldn't finish but many of you will like it I'm sure.  I'm currently reading The Poet of Loch Ness which was written by a guy living in Dahlonega!  So far, it is pretty good...a little slow but the story is good.  He has what you may have heard me refer to in new authors as "potential"!  Guernsey Sweet Potato was really interesting.  It was about a group of people on the channel islands after WWII but refers to al they went thru during the war.  It is written in "letters" to other people but the story comes together very nicely.   I would elaborate more on these books but I'm trying to finish up edits on the church web site so I'll write more later. Oh, by the way, I see where the quilting books have a new edition The Quilters' Kitchen.  The reviews are not good...Apparently it is basically a recipe book with only a few pages of actual story.  So unless some of you come to me and beg me to get it....I probably won't spend the money on it.  Check it out at Hall County.  However, The Lost Quilter comes out March 31 so watch for that.  I have it on my wish list to order later.

Sept 14, 2008
I just finished People of the Book by Geraldine Sparks.  The story centers around a woman who does intensive book repair and forensic analysis.  She has been asked to look at a rare Jewish prayer book that miraculously survived hundreds of years, even when Jewish writings were being destroyed en masse.  She finds several clues in the book and alternating chapters back track through time to tell how those tiny pieces of life got into the book even though the lead character never knows the answers. 

It is worth reading, however, it gets pretty intense in one scene with the torture of a man believed to be practicing Judaism when he said he had converted to Christianity.  But other than that I thought the history was phenomenal.  I never realized how much the Jews were persecuted in times other than Hitler's time.
