Library

The SCVAS Library contains over 1300 donated books related to birds and birding, plus we subscribe to many bird-related periodicals. The library also contains files of bird site checklists. We encourage members to check-out books, including birding guides to take on domestic and international vacations. This is a valuable resource for birders who don't want to purchase a guide for every new place they visit!

Book donations are gratefully accepted.
