Books can also be returned at church on Sundays. If you are not currently attending in-person services, please contact the library team to make other arrangements.

More books! Different books!
- Books about the Christian life are scarce in public libraries, so the parish library has a real niche to fill. We are always looking for suggestions and donations. Suggestions will be added to our online wish list. Donated books will be added to the online catalogue, processed and put into circulation as soon as possible. Duplicates or books that don't fit our collecting mandate will be taken to the Churchmouse book shop at St Mary's Oak Bay.
Thinking of donating a book? Wondering what we need? Thank you! You may find it useful to have a look at our catalogue, wish list and deaccessioned list.
