Video Library
The Video Library, which is located in the lower level near the back door of the church,
lends a wide selection of DVD resources by well-known Christian leaders and organizations covering many aspects of Christian family life, growth and ministry. The children’s DVDs are arranged in age-appropriate sets and series. Many of the DVDs have multi-lingual sound tracks and/or sub-titles (English, French, Spanish, Arabic and other languages).
The DVDs are arranged on the shelves in exactly the same order as they are arranged in the on-line Video Catalog.
Printed matter related to the DVDs (e.g. descriptions, reviews, leader and participant study guides, booklets, etc) are arranged in a separate printed matter filing system in exactly the same order as the related DVDs are arranged in the Video Catalog and on the shelves.
The key to finding a DVD or related printed matter is the ‘Location number’:
Catalog location number = Shelf location number = File location number
