The Friends of the Library Bookshelf

The Bookshelf volunteers are continuing our annual tradition of wrapping gift books purchased from the shop and during the Festival of Trees.  All through the year we set aside especially beautiful or interesting books for Christmas gifts and you’ll find something special for every person on your list.

Don’t forget to pick up a stash of magazines for road trips, a true bargain at $.25 each.  Magazines are displayed on the rack outside the Bookshelf and in the non-fiction “back room” as well.

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