Donations

 

Donations TO our lending library:

We gratefully accept book donations that meet the following requirements:

  • Must be published by an Orthodox Christian publisher
  • Must be in good condition
  • Subject to final approval by Fr Michael 

Note: If we have multiple copies of a donated book, we hope to periodically donate these to other parish libraries - see below!

Donations FROM our lending library:

December 2021, with Father Michael's blessing, the HTOC parish library donated 143 books to the Saint Nicholas parish library in Grand Rapids since they were in need of more books. These were books of which we already had at least two or three copies on our shelves, thus an opportunity to share with our brethren across the state!  The librarian from Saint Nicholas was also quite grateful to our parish for the donation. Glory to God!
