OPERATION IDENTITY |
LENDING LIBRARY |
Operation Identity has assembled a
library of adoption-related books, pamphlets, DVDs, video and audio tapes which are available for members to borrow.
At the moment, the Lending Library is “homeless”—sitting in a number of boxes at the home of a
member—and a selection of the available books is brought to each meeting. Previously, the Library was housed
at The Serenity Shop; but when that store closed, the Library went into storage. We are actively looking for another
home for the Library that would make our books more readily available for members to borrow.
Below is a list of all the items currently available in the Operation Identity Lending Library.
