After finding an item you are interested in, you may come to the library yourself to check it out. Or you may send an email message to library@orelandpres.org and request the items you would like to borrow. A library team member will check out the item for you and arrange to hand it to you in a plastic bag through the car window, or leave the bag in the church office entranceway with your name on it. A library team member is usually in the library from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM on Thursdays, and by appointment to provide reference or circulation service.
Library materials are loaned for one month at a time and may be renewed.
Returns may be dropped off in the church office entranceway in a box labeled for returns. Or returns may be taken to the library and placed in the plastic cabinet drawer marked for returns.

As a side issue of the current pandemic and library use, it may be of interest to some that Battelle, a lab and research institute, partnered with two library service organizations to research how long the coronavirus survives on various materials frequently found in libraries. The results have been issued in poster form and these are displayed on a wall in our church library. You are welcome to come by and read about the COVID-19 virus and its relationship to paper, plastics, glass, metals, and leather.
