The Club library consists of books, training materials, magazines and DVDs related to bees, beekeeping, honey production & use and pollinators. As of July 2024, there are 93 items in inventory, primarily for adults, but there are a few books suitable for children. A selection of fiction books supplements the non-fiction “how-to” books.
Monthly Meetings
The library is set up on a table in the meeting room and a selection of items laid out for club members to borrow. Each item has a card in the front listing the book name & author. The borrower fills in the card with the date borrowed, name & email address or phone number. Cards are filed in the box provided alphabetically by author’s last name.
When an item is returned, retrieve the card from the box and replace it in the front of the book.
