Our Branch holds an extensive collection of books and journals. These are available for BCSS members to borrow. The books are listed below, although not all are brought to each meeting. If there’s a particular book you want then it’s worth contacting the librarian. We have a good selection of recent CSSA journals plus a few Bradleya and the complete set of The Cactus File.
