Guild Librarian: Rod Tier. 62316246 shayrod@incanberra.com.au

The Guild maintains an extensive library of books, periodicals, video tapes and other resource material.

Guild members may borrow items from the library at the regular monthly meetings. A small fee is charged to help fund new items.

Each SIG now has a shelf containing books of direct relevance to their special interest, although inevitably the General section contains material of wider interest to all.

This move has meant that some of the SIGs’ shelves are a little bare, and we are appealing to members to consider donating appropriate books (and videos) to help build up our stocks.
