The Friends of the Library Bookshelf

Have you ever wondered where people find all those maps, illustrations, and beautiful pages for paper crafts that you see on Pinterest? The Bookshelf is the answer. We’ve collected a nice assortment of atlases, old dictionaries, and tired, but nicely illustrated, reference books to spark you creative instincts. You’ll also find bags of paperback books (10/$1.00) for practicing paper folding techniques.

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.
