The Guild Library is a carefully curated collection of books relating to knitting. Our collection includes pattern books, stitch dictionaries, and books about techniques, ethnic knitting, fiber selection and even crocheting. We have built our library through donations and specific purchases. If you would like to recommend a title for our library or have a donation to make, contact Librarian Donna Mulcahy at Librarian@SanDiegoKnitters.com.
The Guild Library is not available for general browsing at meetings, since it is stored off-site at the home of the Librarian. However, Guild members can browse the collection online and make requests; the Librarian will bring your selections to the Guild meetings (when they resume). Books may be borrowed by Guild members for one month.
How to Find and Borrow a Guild Book
You can browse the collection on Ravelry where you can look inside most books to view the Table of Contents, lists of patterns, and selected pages. You must have your own Ravelry account to search the Guild’s library.
