Each aisle in the Mennonite Library and Archives on the campus of Bethel College in North Newton holds a wealth of information — answers to many, but not all, of the questions that Archivist and Co-director of Libraries John Thiesen receives. “I had a phone call several years ago from a guy who said he was looking for the Ark of the Covenant,” Thiesen said. “It wasn’t that he thought we were hiding the Ark of the Covenant, but he thought we had this old book with a clue he might go find it with.” With about 30,000 books and 8,200 periodicals in its collection, the Mennonite Library and Archives is a treasure trove of information. http://bit.ly/2miSRwK http://bit.ly/2miSRwK+ -- Peterk Dallas, Tx [log in to unmask] Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org “If only there were a massive entity that I were forced to fund to tell me how I should live my life, since I’m so obviously incapable of deciding for myself.” M.
