The library at 43 Queen is a very up to date collection of job search, career planning and home business resources, home schooling resources, environmental issues, home production skills and ideas, books on bicycles and a very large collection of organic gardening books. At 43 Queen we also have an extensive magazine section that focuses on Small is Beautiful themes.
