Chapel Library
A Center for Growth & Learning
The Chapel Library is more than just a collection of books; it is a vibrant resource designed to support your spiritual growth through Christian education and study. Located on the lower level of the Broyles Community Center, it houses over 8,000 titles available to any Big Canoe property owner.
Monday–Friday from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m.
and on Sunday mornings from 8 a.m. until noon.
The religious and inspirational section of our library is in
Room 107 of the Broyles Center.
The book collection is organized into categories that include biographies, classics, fiction, travel and geography, birds and wildlife, botany, history (including local history) and poetry. In addition to a large-print collection, audio, and DVD options are also available. Parents and grandparents visiting the Library for the first time are also pleasantly surprised to find an extensive collection of children’s books, DVDs, and movies. The heart of the library is its religious works. Materials included are biblical study aids, classic sermon series, world religions, prayer, Christian living, inspirational and devotional writings, theology, church history and general reference.
The honor system prevails in checking out materials from the collection. Books may be checked out for 21 days; movies and audio books, 7 days. (It is preferred that no more than four DVDs be checked out at any one time.) The check-out box is located in the front room with instructions posted beside the box. Simply sign the card that is in the pocket of the book or DVD, add the date and your telephone number, and place the card in the box. Returns are to be placed in the cabinet in the hall beside the Library door.
Acquisitions are funded through committee recommendations and donations to honor or memorialize loved ones. To contribute to this vital ministry of knowledge, please contact Kaaren Arthurs (706-268-3460) or Susan Newton (706-268-3140).
