Our Sangha has a Library that is maintained by our members and is for the use of everyone. When you arrive look for bookshelves against the wall in the second room on the left, between the meditation and the social hall.
The Books are organized alphabetically by author. Anyone may take out books or other materials, – just sign them out and return in a timely manner. The sign-out notebook is on a shelf by the lamp. Our library is made up completely of donations from members and we operate on an honor system. We also are happy to accept donations of Buddhist related materials.
