The Friends of the Library Bookshelf

Winter is a wonderful time to take up a new craft or crafting project.  Learn to knit, crochet, quilt, or build bird houses.  The Bookshelf has beautifully illustrated craft books for every interest, all in excellent condition and very well priced.

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.

Bookshelf hours are from 10:30-5:00 on weekdays and from noon-2:00 on Saturdays.
