Welcome to the Helen Enns Memorial Library! All Idlewild members and guests are welcome to use WebOPAC (Online Public Access Catalog) to learn what is available in the church library as well as learn the current status of the desired media. Another feature of WebOPAC is the ability to compile a mediagraphy, a customized search results list, which can be printed at home and can make locating items on library shelves easier. You may place a hold on media or leave a message for the library team by sending an email to library@idlewild.org or by calling 813-264-8757, and leaving a message. You are invited to visit the church library on the second floor, Room E218, in the Adult Building during the library’s opening hours:

• Sunday:   8:30 am – 11:30 am
• Tuesday and Thursday:  9:00 am – 1:00 pm
• Wednesday:  5:00 pm – 6:30 pm

Gifts to the Library

Gifts play an important role in the ministry of the church library. They make possible the purchase of media and other needed service items not provided through the church budget. Monetary gifts may be in the form of memorials or in honor of a person or persons. In honor of gifts may be given for births, birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or any other recognition of individuals or groups. Money should be processed through the church financial system. The donor and library staff may determine specific needs of the library regarding the choice of gifts. Gifts may be selected from a needs list provided by the staff. Gifts of furnishings are subject to approval by the library staff and church leaders. All gifts of pre-owned materials to the library must meet the same standards as purchased items and must be in proper condition. Donations, such as used books and other media, may be added to the collection or disbursed to other areas needing resources. Unless specified, these donations will not be returned to the donor. No provisional gifts can be accepted.
