First Presbyterian Church of Asheville
     Claimed by the Triune God, we worship only God
          and are called by the Holy Spirit
               to share the boundary breaking love of Christ
                    in our life together, in the heart of Asheville,
                         and in the whole world.

Enjoy the resources available in our Davis Library.
Located down the hall to the west of the Sanctuary, this beautiful resource is open for browsing, borrowing and just resting during business hours and on Sundays. Catalog drawers contain cards which are arranged by author/title and subject, and signs identify shelf locations for books, cassette tapes, magazines, videos and books-on-tape. Items are signed out at the desk, and returned there. Seasonal and/or new books are on display and are changed frequently. A committee purchases, processes and maintains materials in the library, usually weekly. New members and their children are invited to explore and use the library frequently for pleasure, for spiritual education and as a resource for committee work.
