The Friends of the Library Bookshelf

We’ve added a huge collection of holiday cookbooks to the cart outside the Bookshelf.  You’ll find classics from Southern Living, community cookbooks, and many other beautiful books with new ideas for celebrating the season.

If you’re not already a Friend of the Library please join us next time you come into the Bookshelf.  Memberships start at only $10.00 and contribute to buying new books (including E-books) for the library’s collection.  You’ll enjoy the monthly newsletter, special events, and will be the first to know about the collections we put out each week.

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.
