Our wish list
Thanks for your responses to the library survey! Based on your interests so far, I've started a wish list with some books on subjects our members are interested in. These have all received very good reviews both in church librarians' newsletters and from Amazon customers. If you're interested in donating to the church library, check out the wish list under "Reading and Resource Lists" for ideas. Thank you for your support!

Want something different? How about a graphic novel?
I'm really excited about one of our latest additions to the Cross and Crown Library - as far as I know, our first graphic novel!
The Coming Storm (#1 in the Kingdoms: A Biblical Epic series)
by Ben Avery, illustrated by Mat Broome
On the high school/young adult shelf
This series is based on this story of Josiah and the Egyptian army in the books of 1&2 Kings and 1&2 Chronicles. If you're not familiar with graphic novels, think of it as a book-length comic book. Although teens are the book's target audience, many adults enjoy this style of literature as well. Whether you enjoy reading more traditional books or not, why not give it a try?

Welcome to the Cross and Crown Lutheran Church Library!
Welcome to our library's new website! It's still very much a work in progress, but for now a couple of things are included:
- A list of resources for dealing with grief and loss. These are all available at KCLS and have been recommended by other church librarians. We'll add more reading and resource lists in the future.
- Find it in our library! Click on any of the words to find books in our church library in that subject. Only a few books are included right now, but the rest will be added over time.
