The library committee hopes you
are enjoying the library list on our web page. We are currently
processing some new donations. We will have them marked,
cataloged, classified and on the shelf soon. Thank you to all
those who donated books this year and in the past. Currently
our carts are literally overflowing with books. So please drop
by and check out a couple. Just remember to return them.
Thanks!!
Although the list you see on the
web contains magazines, we no longer keep have them because they
are so fragile and because of space issues.
The Omaha Quilters' Guild has a library of more than 800 volumes.
These books, magazines and videos cover every aspect of the
quiltmaking process, from designing and fabric selection to signing
and labeling. And there are more than a few "picture" books and
other reference works to increase our knowledge about historically
significant quilts and their makers. We are constantly adding to our
library through purchase and donations.
Each member may select three books, magazines, or tapes per month
and is asked to return them at the next monthly meeting so that
other members may have access to all selections at every meeting.
There are currently no penalties or fines for forgetting, and most
members observe a "Golden Rule" approach to getting everything back
on time and in perfect condition. Books may also be checks out over
the summer months at the May meeting. These are due back the
following September.
