  • If you know the Dewey Decimal number, all books in the main library are shelved from 0 to 999 starting in the southeast corner of the room and ending in the northeast. Biography and Fiction are shelved immediately to the right of the 900’s.

    Exceptions are the books in the reference area (short shelves adjacent to the card catalog). These books are exceptional because they are for use in the library and are not to be checked out.

    If you are looking for a book you may search for it by author, subject, or title in the card catalog.

    Our newest additions are on a shelf by the entrance.

    The Dewey Decimal system chart sits atop the card catalog file. This can be very helpful if you have an idea about a topic but are unsure where you might find it.

    Shelves are numerically labeled in the Dewey system.

    A simple map is available and can be found on the Book check-out table.

  • 1. Locate the book card on the inside of the back cover of the book.

    2. Write your name, the date, and either email or phone number where we can reach you on the card and place it in the small (file) box on the “Book check-out” table in the front of the library.

    3. Please try to return the book in a timely (2 weeks) manner.

  • Also located in the library in “Resource Area”. In this area one can find the books and DVD’s that work well in group studies. These items are located in the office area on the right just before you enter the main library. These materials do not have book cards; there is a clipboard sign-out sheet to use.

  • Amplify Media is a multimedia platform of resources that encourage deeper discipleship, i.e. study videos and more. This complementary resource is available to you anytime, anywhere.

  • Although not connected to MDUMC or any particular denomination, The Christian History Institute (CHI) is a valuable free resource. CHI “is a non-profit organization that provides Christian history resources and self-study material at low or no cost.” Their topical magazines are available to view online at your convenience. If you prefer to use paper copies of Christian History, the MDUMC Library has some back issues on the short shelves on the right as you enter the main library.

  • United Women of Faith have a shelf of books in the MDUMC Library on the west wall adjacent to the resource area. For more information about UWF, click here.

    Memorial & Tribute Book Donations: If you would like to honor a loved one's memory or celebrate an occasion in the life of a loved one via library book, please contact DanyAttal@mdumc.org.
