Guild Library
The Guild maintains a library for members that includes books, magazines, and videos about quilting. Please contact the Guild, by sending an e-mail to: info@prairiepiecemaker.com, to request an item from the library, to donate an item to the library and/or to suggest resources for the library.
If the book/magazine you wish to borrow has already been taken out you can put a hold on that item for the next month. Enter your request in the red binder located on the library check-out desk and the item will be kept for you when it is returned the following month.
During 2010 the Librarians purchased a total of 16 books and 1 DVD at a total cost of $372. In addition, we were fortunate to receive two donated magazine subscriptions and several donations of books and magazines. Over the summer we will complete our annual inventory and develop a purchasing plan for next year. In order to complete our inventory, we would ask that you return any library items at the June 1 meeting.
The Guild Summer Loan Program will be offered as in previous years. At the June 1 meeting, Guild members may borrow up to 3 books or magazines for their use over the summer by leaving a cheque for $25 per item. Your cheque will be returned to you in September when the item is returned. If an item is not returned after the summer break, the Guild will cash the cheque left as a deposit.
We encourage members to check out the library for some good ideas for different techniques and fun projects.
The book lists have been revised to make it easier to use the library. There are now three separate lists alphabetized by book title, author or technique. Print copies are available at the library entrance. Or you can view and/or download and print a copy of the current list of library resources (updated to September 16) from the links below:
