About

"Libraries store the energy that fuels the imagination. They open up windows to the world and inspire us to explore and achieve, and contribute to improving our quality of life."  - Sidney Sheldon                                                                          

We will work with you to design a new custom collection that is right for your space or update your existing collection. During your complimentary 30 minute consultation one of our specialized curators will ask you specific questions about what you are looking to achieve in your new or updated collection.  We specialize in many subject areas such as travel, business, cooking, history, children's books, literature, art, reference and fiction to map, photo and  print curation.
