Holiday Gifts at Your Library

For Holiday Gifts — think of your library!

The Watertown Free Public Library Building Fund members staff and stock the shelves in the Bookstore Café. If you are looking for bargains on hardcover and soft cover fiction, biographies, cookbooks, gardening books and self help — they are all there. Children’s titles range from picture books, through chapter books and into teen literature.

CDs and DVDs are also available in the bookstore at very reasonable prices. In addition, some more specialized items are sold online. Check our website www.watertownlib.org. Here are rare books, autographed novels, sets, and beautifully illustrated and bound volumes. These are choice titles for
someone special.

The Bookstore Café also sells library logo book bags to carry home your treasures.  They make great “gift wrapping” for books and other items. These bookstore and online purchases support programs, new equipment and needed furniture at the library. 

For Watertown history buffs there are two particularly appealing items on sale at the library. “Crossroads on the Charles” is the standard local history now available in paperback for $20. For $6 you can purchase Henry Bond’s “Map of the Original Allotments of Land…” from his 1855 work, “Genealogies of the Families and Descendants of the Early Settlers of Watertown.

There is something for everyone and every age on your holiday gift list. Also shop at the library next time you are here to borrow materials.
