The Friends of the Library Bookshelf

Winter is the perfect time to take up a new indoor hobby, and we have plenty of inspiration in our great collection of needlework books featured in the Bookshelf this week. You’ll find everything from machine embroidery to needlepoint in these beautiful books. Many are pretty enough to show off on your coffee table.
Take a look at the “last chance” cart where our inventory of half-priced books is refreshed weekly. You can put your payment for these books in the donations box if the Bookshelf is closed.
Bookshelf hours are from 10:30 AM-5:00 PM on weekdays and from 12:00 PM-2:00 PM on Saturdays.
