The collection includes:

• field guides (local, regional, national and even international)
• life and natural histories
• bird-finding guides from all over the world
• birding adventures
• how-to resources
• picture books
• comedy
• murder mysteries and
• much, much more

You can review the catalog online at HBC Library list of volumes.

The entire library is accessible any time the Hitchcock Center is open, and you can use our honor system to borrow.  If, however, your busy schedule precludes browsing the shelves at Hitchcock, you can just email our librarian, Henry Lappen (library@hampshirebirdclub.org) who will bring a volume or two of your choice to the next HBC meeting for you!
