Where is the library?

Our library is on the main floor of the Yellow House, the yellow building, next to the UUCP church at 420 E. 2nd St., Moscow, ID 83843.

When is the library open?

The library is open from 10:30am to 2:30pm Monday through Thursday. Please see Summer Stevens, UUCP Secretary, in the church office for access.

Once you find the book you want, simply fill out a check-out slip and drop it in the check-out lock box. Books and other items may be checked out for one month. If no one has asked for it, the item may be checked out again.

How is the library organized?

Books are shelved by broad subject categories, color coded. Within each category, the books are shelved in random order. The library is small, so it is easy to eyeball a category on a shelf to see what books are on hand.

These are the shelf categories:

• World Religions (red)
  (I. General; II. Christianity; III. Islam; IV. Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Hinduism; V. Judaism; VI. Egyptian and other Earth-based);
• Unitarian Universalism (blue);
• Philosophy / Theology / Ethics (green);
• Religious Education (light green);
• Leadership (also light green);
• Inspiration / Meditation / Poetry (yellow);
• Self-Help (light blue);
• Parenting (pink);
• Culture & Politics (orange);
• Biography / Autobiography (brown);
• History (gray);
• Reference (purple);
• Drama (white); and
• Local (no color).

Children's books are shelved on the library's bottom shelf. There is a separate printed catalog for them. They are not as yet in the online catalog.

Is there a library catalog?

Yes, there is an online catalog of the general collection and printed catalogs of the general collection and of the children's collection. One copy of each is kept in the library and a duplicate copy of each is kept in the church foyer.

To search, browse, or access the online catalog or to see the user manual for doing so, use the links in the sidebar menu.

Who maintains and manages the library?

The UUCP Library is maintained and managed by The Library Group, consisting of one or more volunteers under the guidance of the UUCP Board of Trustees. To contact the Library Group, send an email to  or leave a message at the church office.
