Calling all American History buffs! The Bookshelf is featuring a collection of interesting and unusual titles this week. You’ll find them inside the shop and on the carts outside as well.
Remember that the library welcomes donations of gently used 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 AM-5:00 PM on weekdays and from 12:00 PM-2:00 PM on Saturdays.
