Virginia - Library


Bethany Christian Services has received a mini-grant from AdoptUSKids to help establish a library for post adoption support. The library is open during office hours. Books and materials may be checked out for up to two weeks.

If you are interested in checking out one of our books, CD's, or videos, you must come to the office to pick it up. You will be asked to fill out a yellow card with your name, what you are checking out, and your contact information. All library items are due back to the Charlottesville office two weeks after being checked out. If you lose an item you checked out from our library, you are responsible for replacing it.
