The current version, which was
updated on Fourth Month (April) 15, 2013, describes certain aspects of Prospect
Hill Friends Meeting. A brief, and yet quite complete, description exists in a
brochure distributed to visitors and other interested persons. A copy of the
text within that brochure has been posted as a separate web page titled About Prospect Hill Friends
Meeting. Prospect Hill Friends Meeting also maintains a small library. A
listing of the library
catalog is also posted; members and attenders of the Meeting are encouraged
both to use the catalog to request to borrow books and also to suggest other
appropriate titles.

limited to, those in the following list; each is linked to the appropriate
