Lending Library
The Triangle Weavers Lending Library is located at the new Seymour Senior Center. The library is open before and during the general meetings. The Center is open M-F 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. To visit the library during this time, contact Lucie Stratton or another board member to meet you and open the bookcase. Board members are also willing to arrange for you to pick up books at their homes. The borrowing time for library materials is one month.
Suggestions for new books are always welcome. Please give the author’s name, title, and reasons for recommending the book to any board member.
