The Friends of the Library Bookshelf

Sweet reads for those hot summer days!  Check the last chance cart for a nice selection of inspirational/ Christian romances and novels.  There are plenty of lazy day reads inside the Bookshelf as well – come in to browse and chat with our volunteers.

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.
