Library Books and Videos:
The Front Range Woodturner's Association has a wonderful collection of books and videos, which are available to all members. Members may check out items at the monthly meetings on the first Tuesday of the month at Rockler Woodworking and Hardware.

A catalog of our library is available for members to download and preview. (Click here to Download) (Add item to Waiting List)

FRW Library Rules: (Effective January 1, 2010)
  1. Sign-outs of videos, books, and magazines are for one month except for the period November thru January. On or before the following meeting, items should be either (a) returned to a Librarian in person, (b) dropped in the slot in the side of the FRW Library cabinet downstairs at Rockler, (c) mailed or delivered to a Librarian, or (d) given to another member for return. If the last, remember to follow up with that person to ensure the items were returned. Please do not leave items with Rockler employees.


  2. Each month, members in good standing may sign out a total of nine (9) items – any combination of videos, books, and magazines. Each item in a DVD or VHS set is counted (e.g., a 3-disc DVD set counts as 3 items).


  3. Members may add items to a Waiting List during the monthly meetings (Add item to Waiting List). If more than one person is on this List for the same item, the first person has until five minutes into the meeting break to check out the item – fail that, the next person on the List, and then any member, in that order, may sign out that item.


  4. Members who are past due on Library items are not eligible to check out additional items until the past due items have been returned to the Library.


  5. Obvious disregard of Library Rules, to the detriment of other FRW members, may result in suspension of Library privileges.


  6. If a member needs to borrow Library resources for more than one month (being out of town, on vacation, etc.), pre-coordination with a Librarian is required. For such loans, please select only older, less popular items.


  7. Some books and magazines are marked “UNCONTROLLED” and include a red dot at the upper right, with “FRW” printed within that dot. These items may be borrowed without sign-in / out control. Please return them to the red dot area at the next meeting so that they are available for other members’ use.

From the Librarian:
Please take time to sign out items – several controlled magazines and books went missing recently (they “walked away”), and most of these items are not replaceable.

Please note that all items borrowed from the Library should be returned on or before the next meeting. Please use the drop box, or otherwise return items to a Librarian, before the next meeting if you cannot attend. With prior arrangement, and based on prior coordination with a Librarian at a meeting (to avoid being on the Overdue List), a two-month loan is possible for items that have not been recently released and are in high demand.

Please continue to open and/or download the on-line PDF Library Inventory listings, make the print larger, and word search for items that interest you, and then build your “wish list” for the next meeting.

We truly have a wealth of educational materials available for sign-out – so enjoy!

Please continue to contribute UNCONTROLLED (“Red Dot”) items – it’s a fun way of sharing.

Thanks again to our Assistant Librarians – Bob Britt, Grover Brown, Michael Busse , Jenny Howard, Richard Kuivila, Denise Newman, and Bob Olsen for their hard work on behalf of the members during the meetings! Please take time to thank them for their hard work!

Regards,
Dave Hawley
FRW Librarian
