The document provides an overview of the Unitarian Universalist community library, emphasizing the importance of individual spiritual journeys without a fixed doctrine. It details the procedures for checking out and returning books at the library, which is located at the Kelseyville Senior Center. Additionally, it highlights the variety of books available, including resources for understanding Unitarian Universalism and general spirituality.

1. “This small volume can be a
valuable resource. In it, you
will find no creed of belief to
which you must subscribe
to be a Unitarian Univer-
salist, no statement of doc-
trine. Unitarian Universal-
ists value
the in-
dividual
spiritual
journey
and be-
lieve that
there is
no one right way to lead a
religious life. For us, reli-
gion is ultimately not about
what you think. Religion is
about how you live. Ours is
a faith of deeds, not creeds.”

2. UUCLC Lending Library
There is a notebook that accompanies the UUCLC Lending Library. Each
book in the library has a sheet in this notebook for logging check-outs
and returns. The sheets are arranged in alphabetical order by title of book
with other identifying information that can include name of author, pub-
lisher and what edition of the book (i.e. hardcover, trade paperback or mass
market).
Additional supplies (borrower’s cards, date stamp, etc.) are kept in a file box.
When a borrower wishes to take a book from the UUCLC Lending Library,
please follow this procedure:
Checking out books:
1. Record the borrower’s name, e-mail address and date of check-out (the
date of the current Sunday service) on the notebook sheet corresponding to
the book in the lending library.
2. Remove book’s sheet from its place in the binder and place in the binder’s
inside back cover pocket.
3. Take a borrower’s card from the file box, stamp or write-in due date (four
weeks from date of check-out) and slip into envelope on the book’s inside
front cover.
Checking books back in:
1. If the book has a borrower’s card in the envelope in its inside front cover,
retrieve this card and return to file box.
2. Retrieve book’s status sheet from pocket in inside back cover of binder.
3. Note date of book’s return and replace its sheet in alphabetical order back
among the others in binder.
4. Once book has been logged back in, it can be replaced on the shelf.
Welcome! As a visitor or as a
member of this congregation,
we hope you will make use of the
UUCLC Lending Library.
The lending library is housed inside
the annex at the Kelseyville Senior
Center. It contains a wide variety of
books.
If you are new to Unitarian Uni-
versalism, you may want to consider
the “Unitarian Universalist Pocket
Guide.” Various writers have contrib-
uted essays addressing the UU faith,
ministry, religious education, work
for social justice and diversity and
roots. It includes important dates in
Unitarian Universalist history and
information about the UUA and the
Church of the Larger Fellowship.
Other books explore other aspects
of spirituality and religion — and
some are, quite simply, a good read!
Please follow the procedure to the
right if you would like to borrow a
book.
Note that the library is not a book
swap or exchange. If you remove a
book, please return it. Many of the
books were donated by members of
our community with a desire to en-
rich the entire congregation.
