Library Cataloging Session Please join us for another installment of our ongoing push to get the library cataloged! We need people with laptops (a limited number of computers are available if you can't/don't bring your own) to work on the data entry portion as well as a team to prep the books on the shelves and make sure the laptop folks never run out of books. Generally some sort of snack is provided. At the clubhouse.
Open Library/Clubhouse Hours On Wednesdays, the NESFA Clubhouse and Library are open from Noon to 9PM (or later; call first). The Library is open to all and for members* to borrow (or return) books, magazines, audio books, and DVDs. Drop by and browse through our 20,000+ item collection. Feel free to read one or just chat with others. Library cataloging is usually in progress. After 5 PM, more members start showing up to chat, work on NESFA Business, or, occasionally, play a pickup board game. * Membership is $24 per year and open to all. At the clubhouse.
