The Friends of the Library Bookshelf
This week the Bookshelf is featuring a huge collection of popular Guidepost fiction. These lovely hardback books will offer hours of reading pleasure and add beauty to your reading corner.

Remember that the library welcomes donations of gently read books and magazines. Those that the library doesn’t need come to the Bookshelf, with all the proceeds benefiting the library. Don’t forget to visit the “back room” of the Bookshelf for newly stocked non-fiction and magazines.

Bookshelf hours are from 10:30-5:00 on weekdays and from noon-2:00 on Saturdays.
