The Risser Memorial Library contains the collection of The Rev. Richard "Rick" Risser, former Rector of the church. It was started to encourage widespread use of his valuable information, and is constantly being updated and enhanced.
Materials are shelved by subject areas with shelf labels to indicate subjects. The catalog is on the computer. The catalog gives author and subject area to assist in finding the material. Please contact Sally Miller for assistance.
