TAAA Library
Astronomy is a pursuit that depends on imformation. And finding that information can be time consuming. To make this a little easier the club provides resources to our members.
TAAA Library Policy:
TAAA members are welcome to check books out of the TAAA Library. A small sampling of the library is brought to the membership meetings. Books can be checked out by signing the checkout list on the library table. There is no limit to the number of books one can check out or the length of time they are out, but we ask that members be resonable in only checking out books they truly think they'll read and return them promptly. Books can be returned to the library during the membership meeting.
The library consists of materials that have been donated to the TAAA. Further donations of books or other appropriate materials are gratefully accepted.
Below is the current list of books in the TAAA library. If you see a title that you'd like to check out, e-mail the book number and title to taaa-info@tucsonastronomy.org and it will be included, if available, in the book sampling at the next membership meeting.
