Non-fiction Collection.

A Library for Browsing and Research

In addition to holding events and writing workshops, we welcome browsers, writers, and readers to drop in during regular hours. If a workshop is going on in one of the main rooms, you are still welcome to enjoy one of the other rooms.

Our extensive collection is primarily non-circulating. Here are some key sections and their locations:
  • Fiction: the main sitting room with fireplace, on the back wall, both North American and British authors.
  • Art: the tall case that makes a wall along the entry. This includes women in all the arts.
  • Virginia Woolf: the first wall you face entering the room off the kitchen. In addition to books by and about her, the Bloomsbury group as well.
  • History, women's studies: further beyond VW wall in room off the kitchen
  • Drama: the small case next to the back door in the room off the kitchen
  • Poetry: the room directly to the right in the hallway
  • International: the long case in the hallway
  • Women writers and writing: the second room on the right in the hallway 

We do have a small lending library on the honor system of both fiction and non-fiction. These are on your right as you enter. Take a book and return it or mail it back when you are done. Please do not pass them on or give them away. (We have found some at library sales.)

We often have some books to give away. They will be gathered together with a note advising you are free to take. So keep your eyes alert!

The bathroom is the first day on the left in the hallway.
The back room on the left side of the hallway is for a resident keeping watch. Do not enter!

Settle in a comfortable chair to read or at a desk with your computer to write. Make some tea or coffee with our supplies.
