RHODE ISLAND MINERAL HUNTERS LIBRARY

These books and pamphlets are free to use for members of the club. If there is an item that you would like to read, please E-mail Bill Neal at [email protected] or call (401)884-1713 at least 2 days before the monthly meeting. For books, please include the book code and title, for magazines the date and title, and for videos, the title. All material borrowed will be handed out at the meeting and must be returned at the following monthly meeting . If unable to attend the following meeting please make an effort to have someone return it for you.

Many of our books are quite old, so we would love to have newer material. Anyone wishing to donate books to the library can either bring them to one of the meetings or contact Joel or another board member and somehow we will get them.

Bill also has the club’s AO Series Spencer 40 Microscope . This is a low-powered microscope that is excellent for viewing micros. Same rules apply for borrowing the microscope. ROCKS & MINERALS & GEMS
