The Church Library Resource Center at Monument Heights Baptist was established August 13, 1961. It provides many services and benefits for every age group preschool through adults as well as for church programs and leaders. Our collections consist primarily of Christian material, but also include many selections of good fiction, non-fiction and biography books, DVD’s, CD’s, audio books, commentaries, dictionaries, atlases, concordances, study kits and magazines that will edify, educate and entertain. It is our goal to provide the latest releases while maintaining older classics. Everything is available to be checked out as long as as a membership card has been completed.
