In the Bookstore main room, we’ve added an additional shelf of recent donations of an outstanding variety of science and math books. Our history collection has been exhaustively purged and updated in both the main room and in the first floor hallway. In the second floor lobby, don’t miss the table full of needlework and other craft guides. Many are like-new and most are offered at 2 for $1; some are free; and patterns (books as well as individual packets) are 4 for $1.
We greatly appreciate your support and welcome donations of books and other media. Please, no magazines, encyclopedias, or VHS tapes. Updates and information will also be available on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/TheFriendsofSherwoodLibraryBookstore
