The Friends of the Library Bookshelf
Calling all collectors!  The Bookshelf has a large selection of reference books for collectors this week, covering everything from teddy bears to rare coins.

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.
