Quiet Reading for Slower Camp Days

Settle in with a book during a quiet morning, a rainy afternoon, or a break between River Road outings. Adults, families, and longer-stay guests can browse with an open mind and treat all books and shared spaces respectfully. Supervise children, keep materials clean and dry, and return items to the proper area when directed.

Confirm Library and Exchange Guidelines

Contact the office to confirm current hours, guest access, exchange rules, donation acceptance, children’s materials, accessibility, and whether books may leave the property. Specific genres, titles, languages, reading spaces, and take-one or leave-one arrangements should not be assumed. Do not leave damaged, moldy, inappropriate, or large quantities of books without advance approval.
