Sunnyside Artisans Library and Book Share
There are some books of special interest to the types of activities we will be involved in that may not be readily available in a library or we may want to have easy access to as reference material. Thus, it is beneficial to create our own library. Also the below books are a window into the types of activities we will be involved in at Sunnyside Artisans. Contact Sunnyside Artisans if you are interested in establishing this and having access to these types of books. Perhaps you may have one of these books or a book in this vain of interest you would like to donate. I have some I will donate to the cause. We can add to the list of books we would like to acquire as well.
Many of these authors have been on podcasts and given presentations that can be found on the internet if there is an interest in learning more about them.
