Welcome to the library home page.

The Library Committee members for 2007-2008 are Sue Plattsmier (Chair), Lisa Charbonnet, Ellie Collier, and Lori Benson.

We are very excited this year to have Jennifer Hughes, a student from UT's School of Information working with us to catalog our periodicals and other non-book items.

We are also working to catalog our books on LibraryThing. Feel free to view our profile or visit our catalog. We'll be adding more of our books to our LibraryThing catalog throughout the year. If you would like to review any of our books, help with tagging, or help photograph covers, let any committee member know and we will send you the login information and let you know about library work days.

You can search the catalog below:

See Bylaws for procedures and rules to check out library materials.

The library committee would also like to remind you of some of the wonderful resources available online:

Handwoven Magazine's Indexes - "These indexes provide past issue information presented by author/designer and by subject." You can use these indexes to search for topics and then check the guild's collection.
Handweaving.net - Includes the Weaving Draft Archive which contains over 56713 hand weaving drafts and Griswold's Digital Archive of Documents on Hand Weaving, Lace, and Related Topics - "a fascinating and useful library of more than 8000 high quality digital reproductions of original works including over 140,000 pages."
