The Friends of the Library Bookshelf

Warm nights are an invitation to gaze at the beautiful dark skies we enjoy in the mountains. The Bookshelf has received a wonderful set of Time-Life books about the universe. Full of great photographs, illustrations and timely knowledge, these books can enhance your viewing pleasure.

Remember that the library welcomes donations of gently read 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 10:30-5:00 on weekdays and from noon-2:00 on Saturdays
