Serving God in the heart of our community since 1881

St Andrew's Church, Taunton

Welcome to St. Andrew's Parish Library

"When gifted writers express what we already know to be true, we recognise our own thoughts and take them more seriously."

If your image of church 'book stalls' is dry, dusty old tomes that no one has read for years, our Parish Library will surprise and delight you.  Full of bright, up to date books, by authors who write not for academics but for ordinary people, many consider the library one of St. Andrew's most valuable resources.  We regularly update our stock of books and you will always find something to inspire, nurture and sustain you on your spiritual journey.

The library is run by a team of voluntary librarians, who are always ready to help, but equally happy to leave you to browse in peace. 

A free resource

Anyone can join the library - just speak to the librarian on duty after the 10am Sunday service.  All we need is your name, address and telephone number to enrol you as a member.  Then you can borrow up to three books at any one time, completely free of charge.  All we ask is that books are returned or renewed within a month.  (If the book you want is already on loan, we can reserve it for you when it is returned.)
