The Friends of the Library Bookshelf
Cabin fever settling in? Time to tidy up, clear out and fix up. This week the Bookshelf is featuring every sort of home repair, DIY, decorate, and organizing book you can imagine, all at our usual bargain prices.

If one of your resolutions is to read a few classics this year you may want to snap up the beautiful set of Great Books we have near the Bookshelf window. It comes with its own all-wood bookshelf and is a steal at $50.00

If you’re not already a Friend of the Gilmer County Library, please join us next time you come into the Bookshelf. Memberships start at only $10.00 and contribute to buying new books (including E-books) for the library’s collection. You’ll enjoy the monthly newsletter, special events, and will be the first to know about the collections we put out each week.

Bookshelf hours are from 10:30 AM-5:00 PM on weekdays and from 12:00 PM-2:00 PM on Saturdays.
