I am interested in learning about the experience of other librarians
concerning interest in, and use of, religious materials in their
libraries. Most particularly, I am interested in knowing if 
non-Christian materials are popular and, if so, in what areas.

I am interested not only in mainstream religions (Buddhism) but in
non-mainstream religions (Wicca).

Also, do you find that there is interest in spoken word and video/dvd
items in this area?

Thank you.
