One of the problems that newcomers often face, when trying to learn a bit more about Geology and related subjects, is that there are relatively few books available in their local library. These days, you can, of course, easily order books on line, or order a wide range of books from the local library, but unless you can physically see the book, it is not always easy to determine whether any particular book is what you are really looking for.
ERMS has recognised this problem, and has long maintained its own library that members can borrow from. The books and magazines in this library are listed below and can be seen and borrowed at our monthly meetings in Shenfield and Stanway. To borrow a book, all you need to do is sign the library register to show that you have taken it out – and, of course, do the same in reverse, when you bring it back.
