Since its inauguration in 1964, the Darwin Station has been building its library. The collection of Galapagos material is one of the most complete in the world. The library collections have repeatedly outgrown their housing and have been moved to ever larger quarters. Within recent years, however, use of the library has increased tremendously. The collections have grown similarly, with many new books, reprints, and journals being added in both the Galapagos and the general sections.
Space is now at a critical point and funds are being sought for new library facilities.
