library idea....

I was lying in bed a few nights ago and came upon an idea I would like to try at some point for a library. Many churches will have a small parish library, largely of donated books. This is a wonderful, if mostly unknown resource, for church members. It might be kind of fun to expand the parish library to make it be larger and then to have a service of traveling library offered to the seniors and shut-ins. For the service to be viable, it would require a good bit of funding and a lot of work on the part of the librarian, selecting books for each of the patrons and taking them to houses. It would be fun though and a very social and interactive experience as a librarian. Definitely a little bit different of a take and it wouldn't work in every church, but something fun to think about.
