The SGC Nairobi library exists to serve the spiritual growth of our church family by making trusted, gospel-centered resources available to our members and regular attenders.

All borrowing is managed digitally, but books are collected and returned in person.

3. Borrowing Limits

• Members may borrow one (1) book at a time

• The standard borrowing period is three (3) weeks

• Exceptions may be granted for study or ministry purposes, subject to approval

We ask that you:

• Handle books with care

• Avoid marking or damaging them

• Keep them in good condition for future readers

If a book is lost or significantly damaged, we will kindly ask you to help with the cost of replacement.

Our aim is restoration and stewardship, not punishment.

8. Borrowing History

For accountability purposes, we may keep a basic record of borrowing activity.

This information is used only for library administration.

9. A Grace-Centered Commitment

These terms are not meant to be burdensome, but to help us love one another well by sharing resources responsibly.

Thank you for helping us steward these books for the good of the church.
