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.
The new committee for 2006-07 would
love to have you stop by the library table at
the first meeting to check out new books, bring back old books
already checked out, or to donate new books so we can be current on
the new techniques in quilting. As you are cleaning your sewing
rooms this summer, please look for checked out books. You may return
them to us on meeting nights or drop them off at the Log Cabin.
There will be no overdue fines, we just need to find out which books
are long gone so we can replace them with something new. We also
would love suggestions on new books you would like to see in the
library. |
