Previous MeetingsOn May 9, 2009, the DC area local chapter of NCLA met at historic St. Paul's Rock Creek Parish in Washington, DC. Our meeting topic was collection building, and we spent much of our time discussing what a church library mission statement should say, and how to decide what books to add to our collection. We also discussed donation and weeding policies. We used the NCLA web site's articles on writing a library mission statement, designing a materials selection policy, donation policy, and weeding as guidelines. Members offered examples from their church libraries.
The Washington, D.C. area chapter of the National Church Library Association fall meeting was held October 22, 2008, at the Emmanuel Lutheran Church.
Ginny Lopez , librarian at Emmanuel, hosted the meeting. Ann Dorsey gave a talk on book preservation and repair of much-used books widely published in multiple formats, such as prayer books, popular trade books, or Bibles, with suggestions for basic techniques, equipment and materials. This was followed by mini-workshop.
Attendees were asked to bring in a book for repair and given a list of a few materials to bring in and repair the book during the workshop. Ann also gave us a short summary of a church library conference that she attended last May. Some of our members are also members of another local church library association and were invited to attend that conference.
The first meeting was held Thursday, April 3rd at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Falls Church, Virginia.
Beth Neu, Member Liaison of NCLA, attend the meeting to share resources from the NCLA and support the developing chapter.
