Library

Our members get access to our carefully curated library which is the biggest Quilt library in Wellington.

How to borrow, return and reserve books, magazines and DVDs

Borrowing: Each book is issued for one month and may be renewed for another month if it has no reserves. There is no limit to the number of items you may borrow at any one time.

Returning: Failure to return a book on time results in an overdue fee of $1 per month per item. You can renew a book in person at the Guild meeting, or by phoning the Guild Librarian prior to the meeting.

Reserves: A list of reserves available for collection is published in each Guild Newsletter.  Reserved items must be collected within 15 minutes of the end of the meeting.  If they are not collected, they will be made available to others on the waiting list.

Other equipment: In addition to books, magazines and DVDs the Guild also owns the following equipment which is issued by the library:

  • photographic stand for quilts

  • light box
