William Lee Hawkins Library
at First Presbyterian Church
Hawkins Library is located in the Ministry Center on the second floor. The library catalog is available to search from your computer, phone or tablet. There is also a computer available on the desk in the library for your use, as well as a printed title and author list. (The print-out may not contain the most recent additions.)
Books can be searched by title, author, or subject. From your search results list, look for the call number (Dewey Decimal number). The books are shelved in numerical order according to the call number, so that's how you will find your book on the shelf. (Fiction is shelved in its own section by the author's last name.)
We still use the card in the back of the book to check out, in order to make the process easy in our self-service library. (That means that all books in the catalog appear as "Available", whether they are checked out or not.)
When you find your book on the shelf, sign your name legibly and write the date (month, day and year) on the card in the back of the book and put in the file box on the library desk.
Our DVDs have not yet been added to the online catalog, but may be checked out. Our children's books (located in the Ministry Center beside Lloyd's office) are also available to search online.
If you have questions about the library, email the librarian at librarian@firstpresnb.org or leave a note on the library desk. We try to check the email once a day and the written notes once a week.

Library Overflow - Free Books
Due to generous donations, this spring and summer by several First Presbyterian Church members and friends who were downsizing or moving away, the William Lee Hawkins Library here at church has a significant supply of duplicate or not library-appropriate books to offer to the congregation for their personal use. Weather permitting, a table will be set up in the courtyard between the 8:30 am and the 11:00 am services on Sunday, August 1st, and Sunday, August 8th. Stop by and select for your late-summer reading pleasure and edification. In case of rain, we will be in the front hall of the ministry center instead.
