The Weavers’ Guild of Boston library is a remarkable collection of new and historical books, periodicals, samples, DVDs, and videos. We have some real gems! Located on the 3rd floor of the church, we are open to guild members from 9:30 AM until the business meeting on days when the guild meets in Westborough.

Library Rules

  • You must be a Guild member in good standing for three months.

  • Only two items may be borrowed at a time by a guild member in good standing.  

  • Books may be kept for one month only, or until the next meeting.

  • The fine for overdue items is $1 per month per item.

  • When items are overdue by three months, a bill will be sent for the cost of the item, plus the overdue fine.  In the case of out-of-print material, the borrower will also be billed for the cost of a search for a replacement.

  • Certain books or papers may be deemed too rare, fragile, or valuable to be circulated.  Those items will be available for study when the Library is open.

Make a Donation!

Our budget for purchasing new books is limited, so consider donating. Choose a book from our wish list or add your favorite. 

Most books can be purchased from our sponsors or other online sites.  To donate a book to the WGB Library please purchase it independently and bring it to a guild meeting or send to:
