The Reading Room is temporarily unavailable because we’re moving
to a new home in the village of Killaloe. We’ll post details here later.
The Reading Room is a unique treasure bestowed upon us by the late George Finney Linn, III.
Nestled in the hills of the Ottawa Valley in Old Killaloe, the Reading Room is home to George’s lifelong book collection and covers a vast array of topics—all of which called out to him in one way or another throughout his lifetime.
George loved and cared deeply for everyone and it is through the generosity of his spirit that we are now the recipients of this lovely offering.
He felt that books were his friends, and now, his dream has come true — to be able to share his friends with you.
Love’s Healing Reading Room is a place open to anyone who loves all things books. The lower level is delightfully decorated with original artwork and features a writing desk, comfortable chairs, wood-burning stove and tea-making facilities.
Pond and garden: The Starlight Chalet Garden Society maintains a beautiful perennial and vegetable garden, which Reading Room guests are welcome to enjoy. You may find yourself wandering through the garden, book in hand, to find a peaceful reading spot near the pond on the edge of the property, or you might find yourself on the hill overlooking the gardens.
