More on the library

I had forgotten that Catherine had been appointed the "Church Librarian," and it had somehow escaped me that she volunteers in the King County (Seattle and environs) Library System, which I believe is one of the foremost library systems in the country. This certainly explains the professional presentation.

A major part of the collection came from our Rector of some 19 years, Fr. Daniel Leen (R.I.P.). Some new additions:
