Library

The Lesley Beckman Library, named after the late Lesley Beckmann, in honour of Lesley's dedication to the library over many years, is an extensive collection of over 2000 books, videos and magazines on all facets of embroidery, textiles and patchwork. This collection provides members with a wonderful resource for research and interest.

A small group of volunteers helps to develop the collection and keep the library in order. New resources are added to the collection each year through purchase and generous donations from members, friends of the Guild and publishers of books on embroidery and related fields.
