CA Burgee  Library Listing

These pages list a selection of books from the library collection. At present, listings are given for the more popular classifications. The titles below are all available for loan by CA members, except where marked as confined on the library catalogue. Reference only material, such as that in the Cruise Planning section has not been listed.
The loan periods are as follows:

Books - 4 weeks (maximum of 4 per member)
Videos - 2 weeks (maximum of 1 per member)
2 week loan pilots - 2 weeks (maximum of 1 per member)

You do not need to visit the library to borrow books or videos. You can make requests to the Library by fax, telephone, or post, and books can be posted out to you. There is no charge for this service, although we ask members to refund postage costs when returning the books.
