The Cliffs Library
The Cliffs has a lending library of more than 2,000 books, audiobooks, DVD movies, puzzles, CDs, and even a few vinyl albums! The library is only in the Main Clubhouse. There are books in the other clubhouse, but are not part of the organized library yet. We are planning to add a children’s section, for your visits with the grandchildren!
The Cliffs Library is a volunteer-run effort and does not have a budget. Lending is done on the “honor system”. We welcome all donations in good condition.
Our librarian is Shirley Burger at shirleyburger918@gmail.com. She’s glad to help you find your next read!
