Printouts are available at our monthly meetings.
Books can be returned at the same places. He prefers that you keep the books no more than a month at a time. If you ll give him a list of books that you are willing to loan out, he will combine your list with his list. One item that will be added to Dan s database is our collection of Washington State Audubon newsletters Science Matters. These are published every 3 or 4 months and contain articles about wildlife populations and habitat, potential conservation and recovery strategies, and topics of general ornithological or conservation interest news you can use.
