Facilities: How to Use our Library

Library Technology

Computer

Our library computer system is a state-of-the-art PC computer with a wide screen, built in speakers, and access to the Internet.  Parishioners and visitors are welcome to use the computer to browse our collection, reach other sites for research, and transmit the results of their studies in our library. Both Internet Explorer and Firefox browsers are available for Internet Access. An attached all-in-one ink jet printer gives users the ability to photocopy, scan and fax.

Users can take advantage of Office 2007, and Corel/WordPerfect software.  CDs and DVDs can be used on our PC, allowing library users to listen and view materials in our library’s AV collection. Our system provides a wireless network, and wireless Internet access, throughout our parish hall, giving laptop users access the Internet via a satellite connection.

Under development is a project to identify important Orthodox Websites as well as primarily (but not exclusively) Anglophone sites in many fields.  Some of the subjects being developed and bookmarked are news outlets, universities, libraries online, museums and art galleries around the world.

Radio and audio visual equipment

This equipment includes a world band radio to receive shortwave broadcasts, AM/FM radio, CD and cassette players, VHS, DVD players, audio recording devices, and an overhead projector for transparencies.  These devices provide users easy access to our AV collection, and they also allow visitors to work with their own materials.

Other Equipment

The library is equipped with a white board, podiums, tables and chairs.

Seminars and Workshops

 Our library and parish hall is an ideal place for small meetings, retreats, workshops, and presentations. Small groups can be easily accommodated in the library. AV equipment is available to record meetings and presentations. We invite Orthodox Christian organizations to use our facilities.  Please contact Fr. John Moses to schedule use of our facilities.
