Emerging from the cocoon.
We have just received a large donation that will allow us to open this summer, if we get a lease nailed down.
We are mostly looking at Pioneer Square, where rents seem to be reasonable, at least for now.
We need more than money, we also need a strong team of volunteers. We have been meeting this summer, and will continue to meet
to plan not only the opening of the store, but its on-going operation and governance.
Our next meeting is on Tuesday, July 29 at 12:30 at the
Greenwood Library, 8016 Greenwood Ave North.
If the AV connections work, the Zoom session will start at 1 pm.
The MoveIn work team meeting after that is Saturday, August 9 at the
Green Lake Library. 7364 East Green Lake Dr N
The Zoom meeting will start at Noon.

Buddhist and Meditation Books |
We are working on setting up a branch reading room on Mercer Island for Meditation and Buddhist books. |
The Seattle Metaphysical Library (legally known as the AS-YOU-LIKE-IT Library) was established in Seattle in
1961. We have grown over the past six decades to hold over 13,000 books plus thousands of audio and video tapes, CDs, DVDs,
magazines and newspaper clippings on a variety of esoteric and controversial topics - material designed to help remove the
Veil of Maya - the veil of illusion - from our eyes and help us grow into the fully-realized humans that is our natural birthright.
We are an all-volunteer, independent resource center providing esoteric and alternative material and events to support personal growth to
enhance our understanding of ourselves, the universe and our place in it.
Our events are limited now to occasional Zoom classes, Zoom meetings and off-site events - see a listing on the right,
and details on our Events page. |
Community
Please feel free to send an email to
if you would like to post something on the website, or send out a message in the newsletter.
One of the benefits of our Library is an opportunity to interact with other people who share your interests.
One way of allowing that exchange to continue is to reactivate the blog, and post contributions in the newsletter.
Supporters Meeting
We will continue to have our Supporters meetings as a Zoom meeting. If you are interested in being part of the
support team that keeps the Library running, and would like to participate in the Zoom meeting, email
for the Zoom invitation.
Please note: We have lost track of the various people who have signed up for Zoom meetings.
If you have previously asked to be on the list for our Supporters meeting, please

Call for Volunteers
We are always interested in reliable volunteers who care about the Library.
We are also interested in helping people who want to start discussion groups. It doens't have to be restricted to the Seattle area.
Meet other people with the same esoteric interests that you have.
The Library has over 16,000 books, and they need to stay organized by category - volunteering is a great way to see what
the Library has to offer. We also need help with publicity, fundraising, helping members and visitors, leading discussion groups and events.
E-mail us if interested.
