Happy 2021! Let’s hope this virus will be under control soon and we can meet in person and you can check out books from the ACQ library. In the meantime, we need your help.

We have received donations of more than 300 books from the estate of two ACQ members. This is a very thoughtful and generous gift and we are currently figuring out how to best handle these donations and honor the members. Towards that end we are seeking volunteers for a work group to help with this task. We need to review the books to identify which books should be added to the ACQ library. Due to the limited storage capacity of ACQ’s library, any new books added will necessitate the removal of existing books from the library. We also want to brainstorm on how best to sell remaining books and then lastly, what should be done with any books not purchased. This is a great opportunity to shape ACQ’s library and a variety of input to reflect various quilt interests would be beneficial. We do not anticipate this being a lengthy project or too time consuming. Work can be done virtually and we will start sometime in early 2021, most likely in February. If you would like to help with this effort, please contact Ann Roman at annroman8858@icloud.com and Mary Rogers at mary.c.rogers@outlook.com. We are excited about this unique opportunity and are looking forward to working with you to shape ACQ’s library.

Happy reading and happy quilting!

Ann Roman and Mary Rodgers
