The Price of a Hobby

Collectors and Collecting
Any of four seasons is a perfect time to choose a new hobby or work on an old one. If your hobby is collecting collectibles, the library's non-fiction collection features a variety of guides that may be helpful to you.

Kovels' and Warman's Antiques & Collectibles Price Guides provide good overviews and a good place to begin your review of what you have. Also find collector's identification guides for coins (Blackbook and Digest), for paper money, baseball cards, a range of glassware, pottery and dinnerware, plus more.

Though no collection can ever be complete, please know we update our collectibles collections every spring so now is the time to make suggestions for purchase.

In the mean time, please do review Caring for Your Treasures: Heritage Preservation and since we're Main Street residents and Main Street business fans, take more time to patronize Main Street's own local business, Antiques at 70 Main.
