- "Church libraries come in all sizes, shapes and locations. This book provides ideas and information for as many types as possible. You will find suggestions for starting a new library, expanding an existing one, serving as a complete media center, and computerizing library operations. .... This current revision explains recent changes and their effect on the work of church librarians. .... You will notice frequent use of the word 'ministry' in describing church libraries. I am convinced that the library truly does perform an important ministry in extending Christian influence beyond the walls of the church, as well as enhancing Christian education programs within the church". -- Preface, p. 9.
