AAFG Library

Our extensive holdings are divided into six segments or branches, divided alphabetically by author last name. The segments are color coded and each segment is housed by a different member of the Library Committee.

Members may request items for check out by contacting the librarian who houses items for authors with that last name (Not a member? Join the Guild!). Books may also be requested by filling out a small yellow request form at guild meetings. Selected holdings on a particular theme, such as knitting or felting, are on the browsing table in the Library Corner at each guild meeting and are available for immediate check out.

Library requests will be waiting for you at Pick Up at the next AAFG meeting. Items are checked out for one month and may be renewed if you contact the librarian by email or phone in advance of the meeting when it is due. Renewal is not possible if another member has a hold on the item. Books may be renewed three times. Items such as DVDs and patterns may be renewed once. November checkouts are due in January and May checkouts are due in September.

Each item is categorized by a two–letter code to serve as a general guideline. Designations may not reveal the complete contents as many items could be given two or three codes.
