John Learned Library Information

Perhaps you're interested in reading the classics of Unitarian Universalist history and commentary. Maybe there's a specific author whose works you always enjoy.

You might want to learn about the many religions of the world, or the many religions represented in your own country.

Inspiration may come from reading authors with whom you wholeheartedly agree, who are able to articulate what it is you're feeling spiritually. Or it may come from reading authors with whom you absolutely disagree, but whose writing helps you to refine your own thinking and beliefs.

The Library Catalog

The collection, comprising more than 1500 volumes, is cataloged according to the Dewey Decimal system.

The computerized catalog is available for searching, either on the computer itself or in the binder of printouts that are organized by call number, title, author, and subject area.
