Help Catalog The NEFSA Library!

We have recently received a couple of large donations of books for the NESFA Library. We need YOUR help sorting through them to see if we need an item (we don't have it or it is in better condition than the copy we have) and / or cataloging additions. Please email library (at) nesfa (dot) org or just show up any Wednesday or Saturday between 1 and 5 PM.

PS Our catalog of videos, young reader fiction collection, main single-author fiction collection, anthologies, non-fiction, art books, graphic novels, Ace doubles, other doubles, and audiobooks is available at www.tinyurl.com/NESFALibraryCatalog.

"Excess" Books and DVDs too

Looking for something to read or watch? We’ve found lots of duplicate books while cataloging our library. We also received a donation of DVDs, some of which we had and others of which are out of genre. The excess books and DVDs are available for a suggested donation of $1-$5 per book or DVD. Stop by the NESFA Clubhouse when we are open which is generally Wednesdays from Noon to 9 PM, Saturdays from Noon to 6 PM, and most Sundays (but usually not the second Sunday of the month) from Noon to 9 PM. (Check the NESFA Events Page for our schedule.) The excess books and DVDs are in the area by the back door to the clubhouse in two bookcases on the left wall and in boxes on the floor. Most new books from NESFA Press (on the metal shelves to the right) are also available at 20% off the cover price for non-members and 40% off the cover price for members.

New eBooks!

The ebooks of the new editions of Dreamweaver's Dilemma (with updated awards and bibliography as well as an update from Lois), From These Ashes (with a previously uncollected story), and Martians and Madness as well as the ebook of this year's Boskone Book, Dubious Pleasures are now all available for purchase on our website www.nesfapress.org .
