Village Lending Library


Take a book...leave a book
There is a bookcase located in the Village hall with a selection of books for residents to borrow.  If you have books in good condition that you would like to share, bring them down (one or two at a time, please - not to be used as a recycling center!) As time goes by, hopefully our library will grow and contain a variety of good reading material that is free, convenient and close to home. Books will be available during regular office hours:

9 AM - 5 PM Monday thru Friday
Wednesday evenings
5:30 - 7:00 PM
