Community Room Door      After coming in an entrance door, go to the elevator and take it to the third floor...
     When you get off on the third floor, the community room is on the left.  Here is what the door to the Community Room looks like.
     If you came early and wish to peruse the library, the main library entrance is to the right.








Book Sale

     During all the hours that the library is open, there is an "Honor System" Book Sale in the second floor parking lot...
     Whether you are a member or not, you are free to wander through the many piles, boxes and stacks of books put there by The Friends of the Library.
     If you wish to purchase any of these books, refer to the pricing guidelines posted and put the money in an envelope and push it under the door at the end of the short hallway to the left of the book sale.

     The library also has regular book sales throughout the year when they open the main collection room to the general public.
