Anastasia Maxwell Library 

The Anastasia Maxwell Library is open to UUC members and friends on weekdays and on Sundays after services. It is located in the Social Hall. We use an honor system checkout and return system. Please sign the sheet on the computer desk when you take out a book.

We have a marvelous collection of over 6,000 books, with over 1,100 books in Fiction and Literature, over 800 Biographies, 620 books in American and World History, and over 400 books in African-American Studies. Other categories include Coffee Table Books Fine Arts, Civil Rights and Social Justice, Education, Ethnic Studies (Culture), Florida, GLBT, Government, Politics and Law, International Relations and War, Jewish History and Culture, Nature and Science, Philosophy, Reference, Social Science, Theology and Religion (including Unitarian-Universalism), Travel, Women’s Studies, and Writing and Communications.

The collection is a combination of our previous UUC library and the generous donation of his library by Bill Maxwell, a member of UUC and a St. Petersburg Times columnist and college teacher. The library is named in honor of his daughter, Anastasia. The vast majority of our library collection is from Bill’s library.

There is also a computer and printer in the library for any member to use. It has internet access and Microsoft Word and other software.
