I’m delighted to share our new family library, full of great books to point you and your families to Christ. Here is our full list of books. Please chat to me if you’re looking for a particular book or if you’d like any recommendations!
Books can be borrowed on a Sunday morning. Just remember to sign books out, look after them, and sign them in again when you’re done! If a book has a sticker on the front, remember to look in the library file for accompanying resources, like colouring/activity sheets and back-pocket Bible verses.
I’ve included the age range provided by publishers below, but know that this is only a rough guide. Many books are perfect to read to the whole family, and will be great for your child even if he/she is older or younger than the age guideline.
