Meetinghouse Library

If your meetinghouse has a library, it may contain most or all of these resources. To learn more about the materials available in your meetinghouse library, speak with the meetinghouse librarian.

Your meetinghouse librarian or ward clerk should have a copy of the Church Materials Catalog that you can use. This catalog is an annual publication that lists the items available from Church distribution centers. In addition to the items listed on this page, the catalog lists other materials that support Church members.

Your meetinghouse library may also have copies of the Index to Periodicals of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This is a cumulative index to the periodicals published by the Church. The periodicals indexed are the Ensign, New Era, and Friend magazines; conference reports; and the Church News.
