Searching LibraryThing
1. To search the CFM collection, enter a word or phrase in the “Search” box found in the top right corner directly under the “Search site” box. (The “Search site” box is not limited to the CFM collection.)
2. A drop-down menu to the right of the box allows you to limit or expand your search. Selecting “Most fields” is often preferable to searching “All fields.” You can narrow your search by choosing “Titles/authors,” “Subjects” (which uses Library of Congress subject headings), “Tags” (which uses our broad subjects), etc.

Charlottesville Friends Meeting maintains a small library containing more than 1,400 catalogued items and additional uncatalogued items such as Quaker magazines and newsletters from various Quaker organizations. The materials cover such topics as Religion, Bible Commentary, Biography, Quaker History, Children’s Literature, Spirituality, Quaker Testimonies and the Society of Friends in general. The collection emphasizes items of interest to Friends, especially those not available in the public or university libraries. It also includes materials by CFM Friends/attenders, especially those in the scope of the collection.
