The Friends of the Library Bookshelf

It’s almost time to get out in the garden and play, hard to wait, but important to do so unless you’ve got money to burn on plants. In the meantime you can have some garden fun with one of the beautiful books we’re featuring in the Bookshelf this week. Stonework, birdhouses, and garden design – we’ve got you covered.
Take a look at the “last chance” shelves 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.
