The Ernest Holmes Lending Library holds a special corner of our community, tucked upstairs above the coffee serving area of the Social Hall. It is open every Sunday from 10 am to 12:30 pm, and it runs entirely on the dedication of volunteers, guided by head librarian Matthew Duran.
Anyone who has borrowed a class textbook, browsed a shelf of audio recordings, or found an unexpected book on a subject close to their heart has felt the care that goes into this space. Volunteers check materials in and out, keep the collection organized, welcome new patrons through the application process, and receive the donated books, audio, and video recordings that keep the library growing.
This work asks for patience and a love of books, and our library volunteers bring both in full measure. Their steady presence, week after week, gives this community a place to learn, borrow, and return, one book at a time.
Thank you to every volunteer who has given time to the Ernest Holmes Lending Library. The gift of a well-kept library is easy to overlook and deeply valuable.
An Invitation
If books hold meaning for you, or if you enjoy the rhythm of a Sunday morning spent among shelves and patrons, the library welcomes new volunteers. No special experience is required, only an interest in helping this resource continue to serve our community.
Reach out to info@cslsr.org if you have interest in volunteering with the Ernest Holmes Lending Library. A member of our team will follow up with details on current needs.
Thank you to everyone who has cared for this collection and the people who use it. This community is richer because of you.
