The Bookshelf
Those of you who collect books about events during World War II will want to see the history collection featured in the Bookshelf this week. There are a few general history books, but most are on specific topics related to the war, a few rather rare titles.

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.
