Welcome to the Shively Lodge #951 Masonic Library and Art Studio. It is our Mission Statement to provide a major resource center for Masonic research and the creation of Masonic Art, while always maintaining a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere where true Fraternal Fellowship can be enjoyed.

We have amassed a very impressive collection of Masonic Literature, several hundred volumes of which are original 19th Century editions. While by no means complete, we believe that our collection represents a true cross-section, and at the very least touches upon every aspect of Masonic Literature, providing the vital resource necessary to the student of Freemasonry who wishes to study his subject. Also, providing the workplace necessary to the Masonic Artist to create his art.

At the same time providing an enormous resource of Masonic Artwork, at the very least, thousands upon thousands of reproductions of classic and modern Masonic Art of which once again at the very least, many hundreds, if not thousands, are original 19th Century prints and engravings. (Sorry folks, we haven't finished counting yet)

Our Library has no budget and receives no money from the Lodge. Our collection has been built entirely by donations. There are two ways you can donate; one of course is to just give us the books outright, but if you would prefer, your donation can be placed on loan in our collection, and will be immediately returned to the loaner upon request. No donation is too small, and all are greatly appreciated.

The point of all of this being, this wealth of resource material is available not only to the members of Shively Lodge, but to the Masonic Community at large. So come visit the Shively Lodge #951 Masonic Library and Art Studio, open 6pm on first and third Saturdays, and closes when the last Brother leaves. Special visitation can be arranged.
