Announcements

- The Madison Weavers Guild Lending Library is gently growing. We currently have 20 titles and some periodicals for lending. You can find the inventory on the Members Only page of our website. Since this is a new venture for the guild, the best way to borrow a book is to contact Marty Detering directly at 610-470-3631 or marty3day@aol.com. If one or more of the titles is of interest to you, Marty can bring the books to a meeting. You are welcome to look through them and choose what you wish to borrow. Simple and easy. We ask that you return that book at the next meeting. Books can be renewed as long as another person is not interested in borrowing it. Marty will bring new library additions to meetings for perusal by members. In March, she will bring the 5 books that Vävstuga has gifted to the guild. All items in our library are donations and we wish to thank all those who have thought of us with their generosity. So get your looms in weaving order and think about planing a next project. Surely, there is a draft our there calling your name. Happy weaving, Marty Detering.
