The Crossroads Friends' Library

While this selection of online texts does not precisely duplicate the Crossroads Friends Worship Group library, it is intended to serve a similar purpose in some measure - making longer and classic writings of Friends available to our attenders.  These are links to other sites, created and maintained by other Friends or groups, and may change.  If some of these links do not seem to work, please notify us.  We are very glad for the efforts of those who have created these websites.  The Earlham School of Religion Digital Quaker Collection (link below) includes a wide range of works by a great many Friends; if you are seeking something not listed here, try their search function.  If you have suggestions of additional sites with Quaker writings, or wish to request that we provide links for other Quaker writings (if we can find them), please contact us.
