Lions Head South

All Lions Head South residents are enthusiastically invited to take advantage of the large and varied selection of books of various genres, large print books, cookbooks, Reader’s Digest condensed books, movie DVD’s, magazines, periodicals and jigsaw puzzles offered in our clubhouse library.

Our hardcover and paperback books are labeled in separate sections of the library shelves to facilitate your search. All mystery stories have a green dot on the spine, fiction is designated by an orange dot. Biographies have blue dots and non-fiction have a yellow dot on the spines. Our most valued section of large print books has white dots with an extra white “LP” sticker on each spine. Each dot contains the first three initials of the author’s last name and the last two digits of the copyright year to help you find your selection.

Also distributed among the library shelves you will find a varied selection of jigsaw puzzles and beautifully illustrated coffee table books. Magazines can be found in the woven basket on the fireplace hearth.

There also is a ‘new arrivals’ section located on the sofa table to the left of the fireplace which contains the newest additions to our collection. These new arrivals remain there for approximately 2 weeks after their donation to us. Be sure to check here first for our most current offerings. After that time, they will be moved to the appropriate location within our library.

All of these items can be borrowed at any time for as long as you wish without the need to sign anything out. Our LHS library is completely on the honor system. We only ask that all items are returned in a timely manner and in the same condition they were taken. In the case of movie DVD’s, please be sure to return all discs involved with each item and, of course, all jigsaw puzzle pieces as well.

If you would like to donate items for others to benefit from, please remember that due to limited space, we can only accept books whose copyright dates fall within a current 10-year period. In other words, please check the first few pages of your donations prior to drop off and only give us those books whose copyright date falls between 2016 through 2026. However large print books of any copyright year are always gratefully accepted.

Current magazines of any type (except for political- and/or religious-themed and/or retail catalogues) are accepted as well, but please nothing older than three months of time of donation. Donations can be left on the “return book” shelves or on the large table in the library area. Call me, Janet Pedersen, using my cell number listed in the LHS directory, to arrange for large donations or any questions you may have regarding our library.

The library staff invite you take the time to enjoy our wonderful Lions Head South Library which is open between 8:30 am and 10 pm every day.

Happy reading!
