URC Little Library
We have a new addition to United Reformed Church. Our “Little Library” has been added to our front lawn. A community little library is a small, outdoor space where people can freely exchange books. The idea is simple: take a book, leave a book. It fosters a spirit of sharing, encourages reading, and strengthens the sense of community by providing access to books without any cost. Please consider donating new or gently used children’s books to help our library thrive. Books can be dropped off in Fellowship Hall after worship or dropped at the office (M-F 9a—1p) It’s yet another way URC is contributing to our community.
