The Friends of the Library Bookshelf

The Bookshelf has received a large donation of inspirational books, many like new or completely unread. There are books on traditional religions as well as Middle Eastern and Asian religions, and some inspirational fiction as well.

Remember that the library welcomes donations of gently read books and magazines. Those that the library doesn’t need come to the Bookshelf, with all the proceeds benefiting the library. Don’t forget to visit the “back room” of the Bookshelf for newly stocked non-fiction and magazines.
