The Foxwood Springs library contains over 12,000 hard back and large print books, as well as many paperbacks. Video tapes are also available for the residents’ use. The library also subscribes to a number of magazines and newspapers, including the Wall Street Journal.

Audio tapes and magnifiers for reading are available for the sight-impaired and a wide variety of encyclopedias, atlases and dictionaries can be found in the reference section of the library. In addition, a special section of the library is devoted to displays which depict current and historical events.

The library is run by volunteers who catalogue all books and see that they are properly refilled.

Gift & Craft Shop

Floral arrangements can be made to your specifications.This lovely shop had a very humble beginning, with a group of women who wanted a place to do various crafts.  It started out small, but as interest grew, more tables and shelves were added. Craft and gift items soon filled these tables and shelves.

Everything has been donated by Foxwood Springs residents.  Resident volunteers work in the craft room or in their homes to produce the items sold. A variety of infant items such as baby sweaters, booties and blankets are available for sale. You’ll also find many useful things like knitted caps, mittens, scarves and lap robes, as well as all kinds of craft items.  We create beautiful flower arrangements which have become one of our “best sellers.”  Floral arrangements can be made to your specifications.

Shopping for the good stuff.The Gift and Craft room is a successful part of the Foxwood Springs community.  It is a place to come to shop, to learn or to buy.  There are tables to work on, sewing machines to use, craft supplies to purchase and volunteers to assist you.

The proceeds from the shop go to help provide support for the Fellowship of John program that makes available financial assistance for residents who have outlived their resources and need help in covering the full cost of their care.  CLICK HERE to jump to the page with more details about Fellowship of John.
