The Quilters’ Guild has an extensive library of books and magazines relating to the techniques of patchwork quilting and appliqué, and quilt and fabric history.  Access to the library is open to all visitors for reference use and Guild members have the added benefit of being able to borrow books. The library is staffed by volunteers and is usually open on Wednesdays.  Please contact us in advance of your visit to confirm library opening times.
