The Friends of the Library Bookshelf

The Bookshelf has another great collection of popular fiction titles from Bethany House. These are good, gentle reads, perfect for winter evenings. You’ll find them on the shelves by the cash register so come stock up.
Don’t forget to pick up a stash of magazines for road trips, a true bargain at $.25 each. Magazines are displayed on the rack outside the Bookshelf and in the non-fiction “back room” as well.
Bookshelf hours are from 10:30 AM-5:00 PM on weekdays and from 12:00 PM-2:00 PM on Saturdays.
