A casual lending library of leisure reading material, housed at European Nazarene College in Karin Rodrick's office, has been established for Eurasia’s missionaries. Since missionaries and field leaders regularly visit Büsingen, the following material is available for Eurasia's missionary team to borrow and return as convenient.
