The Friends of the Library Bookshelf

The week’s special at the Bookshelf features the Boys of Summer. You’ll find biographies, history, autobiographies, fact and fiction, everything about baseball on the center shelf inside the Bookshelf.
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.
Bookshelf hours are from 10:30-5:00 on weekdays and from noon-2:00 on Saturdays
