I am looking for ideas on where a lace guild could meet.
I don't have a local-enough guild, so don't attend meetings but one of the locations that has always struck me as mutually beneficent was a sewing notions store, if it's big enough (and many do have a back room which might be suitable). Most lacemakers are "into" more than just lacemaking, so the temptation to keep buying threads and other "stuff" while in such a store is always overpowering :)
The issue of a permanent library is something else, however. The only time I've seen one was in Pittsburgh, where one of the guilds (they had two, IIRC -- Robin Panza will straighten me out, if not) was meeting in a church basement/vestry. All other guilds I know cart their libraries with them evey time...
