Ship’s Library

The Ship’s digital library has been cataloged within the cabinets below. As was the SHENANDOAH’s first library — well built as it was — it was also nearly empty. There are a few eBooks below, with many more to come. Volunteers from towns and cities throughout the Shenandoah Valley collectively gathered, then delivered over 2,000 books to the SHENANDOAH’s library.
