Claremont Church Library

THE LIBRARY AT THE CLAREMONT CENTER FOR SPIRITUAL LIVING

Books The library at the Claremont Center for Spiritual Living continues to grow partly from contributions from our members and friends, and partly from purchases of new books for the Willena Michael Collection.

The Willena Michael Collection was established by its namesake, and continues to grow with generous contributions from a fund administered by her daughter, Gale Goldsberry. The Collection focuses on the ongoing discussion between science and spirituality. As part of the exploration of spirituality it has come to include information on a broad range of religious traditions, including Vodou, Druidism, Zoroastrianism, Huna, and Native American spirit traditions.

Art We have begun collecting art and religious artifacts. These have also been chosen to reflect a broad range of spiritual traditions and practice.

The library also archives audio files of inspirational speakers, workshops, self-help and self-improvement tapes. As of January, 2010 we have collected the equivalent of 560 hours of audio. Soon we will begin creating our own “books on tape,” reading out-of-print books in our collection into audio files to make them available to those with reading difficulties.

At present we have no library dues or late fees. Please feel free to visit our library during regular office hours, or on Sunday when the church is normally open for services.
