The MGCC Geelong Library Introduction for New Members The MGCC Geelong owns a comprehensive collection of books and other items relevant to the history, ownership, and maintenance of MGs and associated Marques. • The Club Library is housed in a dedicated room opening off the main clubroom. • The Librarian is in attendance from 1 hour before every Monthly Meeting night and the Library closes after the coffee break. • The Library is also open from 3:00pm to 4:30pm on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. The urn will be on so come and browse, chat, and have a tea or coffee. The Regalia Shop is also open at the same time. • Library items are available on loan for one month, from each Meeting to the next. Contact the Librarian if you wish to retain items for a longer period. • The Library collection, at the last count, includes 493 books, 78 DVDs and VHS tapes, and 3700 Magazines. • Books are classified into categories including MG Models by type (MGA, MGB, etc.), MG General, and Other Motoring Books (see page 3 for categories). • We hold Workshop Manuals for most types of MG. If you require a specific book at times other than at our monthly meetings, please contact the Librarian who will endeavour to meet you at the Clubrooms. • If you have technical questions and need help in finding information in the Library, please e-mail me before our monthly gatherings and I shall attempt to find a reference for you. I am usually too busy to answer questions at the Meetings. • A complete catalogue of Library items may be found on our Club Website at http://www.mgccgeelong.com.au - go to the Library button and follow other links. • There is a huge amount of interesting information in the Magazines and the Librarian is slowly building Indices to any articles of relevance to things Octagonal in the Indices linked from the webpage.
