Online Library at Abington Meeting 

In light of the exceptional pandemic situation and vastly reduced traffic coming to the meetinghouse, the Library Committee has given lots of thought to how we can best serve our meeting community. We want to make sure the many resources available at the library can be accessed, should anyone so desire. We are delighted to offer you assistance in accessing these resources! All you need to do is check the online library (Click Here for LibraryThing) for books according to author, title, or subject. If the book is in our library, you can go to this online form to request the title from us: Click Here for online request form. 
You can also just request a title from us without looking it up in the online search; if we don’t have it we’ll let you know. 

Pendle Hill pamphlets are not listed in the online library (LibraryThing) data base. However you can go to this Pendle Hill link to find all the issues and their descriptions: Click Here for Pendle Hill Pamphlets  Instead of purchasing, you can then request to borrow a pamphlet from our library using the online form above.

We will leave requested books or pamphlets in the Meetinghouse vestibule (always open) in the white library box. If you are at the meetinghouse for MFW you can always look for desired books yourself after consulting the online library or browsing.  They are alphabetical by primary subject area both downstairs and upstairs. Most Pendle Hill pamphlets are upstairs in numerical order.

We hope you use our wonderful library resources and enjoy!
