Is Anyone Interested in Starting a Private Library Here?

Sally and I read a lot and we both use the library in Weed and Mt. Shasta to supplement the books we buy but sometimes the hours of operation or the weather (or both) make that difficult. We also tend to accumulate books and end up giving them away after reading them which seems sort of wasteful.

So I'm wondering if a small, private library located here in Lake Shastina would benefit others in this same situation. It would probably be relatively easy to build up a supply of books over time, and probably not impossible to build or acquire (some folks bought shelves from Redding's library for $100) shelving.

The larger issue would be where to house the collection so that volunteers could readily staff it. Would someone's home work? Space in someone's garage?

Does anybody have any ideas or suggestions?

If you find people interested in opening a Library in Lake Shastina I would be interested in helping with the set-up and running of the Library.
I don't know where it could be set-up except maybe at the Club house somewhere.

Thank you
