This Library was started in order to meet the needs of a few people who were trying to understand and to appropriate into their living, the basic beliefs and doctrines of the Christian Faith. Out of this endeavour came the demand for a common place of meeting where there should be quiet and space and books, both for study and for interchange of thought; a place of meeting for themselves and for others working in this same field of interest and inquiry.

The Library, then, grew out of and ministers to the exigencies and covenants of mind and spirit. It is the visible expression of an inner commitment; at once an act of faith and of fellowship.

It not only seeks to make greatly available to others certain ways of access into spiritual concerns, but it looks for the growing strength of a wider companionship in its common labour

and trust, - the bond of a maturing body of Christians learning to live within the terms of the corporate Christian life.

The Library now has about 1200 books and pamphlets, both old and new, stemming from the main streams of Christian thought and tradition; and there is a fairly wide range of choice both in subject and way of approach: theology, history, philosophy, mysticism; devotional books; essays, poetry, biography; books of instruction and story for young people and children. With few exceptions, any of these books may be taken out on loan.
