Library

We have a wealth of books available to borrow from our library.  Just browse through the listing below and contact our librarian.

What we find in books is like the fire in our hearths. We fetch it from our neighbors, we kindle it at home, we communicate it to others, and it becomes the property of all. - Voltaire 1733

If you still have any of the society’s books on loan please return them within a reasonable length of time, so that other members can benefit from them too.
