the church library: part 1

In our old church building the library, aka the dungeon, was located in the basement of basements. Although it was filled with wonderful books, the horrid location of the library did not allow everyone to enjoy it.
With two flights of stairs to go down before entering the library, the people who had a hard time getting into the library were:
-those who were in wheelchairs
-those who walked with a walker
-those who carried an infant carrier, a diaper bag slung on the shoulder, and a purse and a toddler in the other arm
-those who suffered from claustrophobia
-those who were allergic to the musty and moldy smells (and that was not from the books)
- and those who walked with a cane entered the library at their own risk


With an increasing church membership (especially among the little ones), this library was not only inaccessible for many, but crowded. The little three and four year olds loved to sprawl out on the floor and read while their older siblings were in Sunday School. It certainly was a cute sight:)
