All items from the club library are available for members to borrow.
Send you request to the librarian and collect them from the next club night.
The club library resides in the Librarian's garage.
Here is the result of an investigation and cataloguing of this taonga.
Some of the publications are exciting and informative, some are dated and informative and some are just informative while others are of interest only to nerdy bibliophiles and have already led to many undone chores around my place.
All are available on loan to paid up WCG members, I present the following catalogue which is in no particular order.
