Collections
Clift Rodgers Library is a recreational library with approximately
9,000 books in our collection – 6,000 for adults and 3,000 for
children. Since we are an independent library, there are short waiting
lists – or no waiting lists at all - for books.
A wide
variety of current fiction and non-fiction is available as well as classic works
by authors such as Shakespeare, Jane Austen, and Mark Twain. A lighter
collection, known as the "Peggy Beals' semi-classics," includes many
cherished novelists like Joseph Lincoln, John Buchan, and D.E.
Stevenson. Adult nonfiction offers biography, health books, cookbooks,
gardening, and more.
The children's collection includes
picture
books, early readers, fiction chapter books, and popular mysteries. In
juvenile nonfiction are biographies and nature and science books. A
young adult section features many popular authors. Ongoing programs
include a weekly story hour during the school year for young children,
and a book club in the summer for
8 – 12 year olds.
Our limited space precludes a reference section, but we can help with
some requests.
