Do you have an interest in collecting — antique jewelry, postcards, stamps, coins, dishes? Do you enjoy cooking? Sewing? Fishing? Model trains? Would you like more information about your favorite hobby or pastime?

Stillwater Public Library has hundreds of books dealing with hobbies and special interests: knitting (“Fabulous & Flirty Felt: Stylish Handbag and Accessory Patterns to Knit and Felt,” “Knitting Stitches,” “One-Skein Wonders”), jewelry making (“Create Jewelry Crystals,” “The Art & Craft of Making Jewelry,” “Beautiful Button Jewelry”), furniture restoration (“Furniture Restoration: Step by Step Tips,” “Chairmaking & Design,” “Flea Market Furniture Makeovers”), golf (“1001 Golf Holes You Must Play,” “The Women’s Guide to Lower Scores”), photography (“Complete Guide to Digital Wildlife Photography,” “Art Photography Now,” “Digital Scrapbooking for Dummies”), rock and mineral collecting (“Mineral Collector’s Handbook,” “Rocks and Fossils: A Visual Guide”) and so many more.

We also have many magazines dealing with hobby interests, including “Sew Beautiful,” “Field and Stream,” “Cycle World” and “Art & Antiques,” to name just a few.

These and many more titles are available to help you get started on a new hobby or to learn more about your particular hobby or interest. Most of them will be found in the nonfiction area in the 600s or 700s. Always feel free to ask for help if you are having trouble finding what you need.

And of course, for the BEST hobby of them all — reading — we’ve got you covered.
