The Friends of the Library Bookshelf

“Wow” is the only word to describe the wonderful collection of quilting books recently donated to the Bookshelf. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced quilter, you will find something of interest in this beautiful group of books. Winter is the perfect time to begin a new heirloom.

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 10:30-5:00 on weekdays and from noon-2:00 on Saturdays.
