The Book Centre and Library – next to each other in the Coffee Room – are open whenever the church is open. The Book Centre contains a wide variety of Christian books: Bibles and Bible commentaries, explanations of the scope and structure of the Bible, life experiences, eminent writers’ views
on matters of faith and doctrine, biographies of prominent Christians over the centuries, and children’s books. Notices explain how to pay for books, and how to order them.

Selected books are displayed on the 'new' bookshelves; where possible, these are chosen for their relevance to the theme(s) of current sermons. All enquiries to the managers, Peter and Pim Claridge 668820.

Bible Reading Notes are available on subscription; please contact Christine Holcombe (654817). Christine also deals with greeting cards, displayed on two mobile stands.

The Library provides the opportunity for regular Christian reading without continual expense and to ‘try out’ books. Guidance on how to use the library is available and there is a classified (card) catalogue with an author index. There are books for every need, from light but inspirational reading to serious study. A selection of reference books – including Bible dictionaries, concordances and commentaries – may be used only on the
premises.
