The Friends of the Library Bookshelf
Everyone needs a gift from the Bookshelf under the tree. Throughout the year we set aside extra-nice books for Christmas shopping and we offer free gift-wrap service as well. There are books for cooks, crafters, collectors, kids, history/mystery buffs – truly everyone on your list. And don’t forget that a gift from the Bookshelf is also a gift to the library. All our proceeds benefit the library, adding to the materials collections as well as providing summer reading programs for kids.

The Bookshelf and the library need your donations of gently read books and magazines. Proceeds from Bookshelf sales fund the children’s summer reading program and purchases of new books and materials. Your much-appreciated help is vital to maintaining our quality programs.
Bookshelf hours are from 10:30-5:00 on weekdays and from noon-2:00 on Saturdays.
