Librarian
Sherilynn Bunce - Librarian@sonomabees.org

SCBA has a collection of beekeeping books and videos that are available for loan to members in good standing. The library is made available at each general meeting. Items may be checked out for 1 month and need to be returned at the next meeting unless previously coordinated with librarian.

Our library is constantly growing - if you know of a title which would be of interest to members of the association, please make suggestions to the librarian - include: title, author, the ISBN of the title, as well as a brief summary of why the title would make a good addition.
