New for 2025: FFBC Library of Bridge Books ...A Lending Library of Bridge Books – these are books that were donated by bridge players and their families.
Players follow 3 steps: Step 1- Find a book you are interested in, Step 2- Take the book home and read it, Step 3- Return the book to the library and start again at Step 1.
This is our way of recycling these wonderful resources. My many thanks to everyone who participates in this program.
