    Section Library
    The section library maintains a collection of mountaineering literature for the benefit of section members. Currently the collection contains approximately 250 books and more are added on a regular basis. The titles cover everything from guidebooks and technical instruction to biography to coffee table picture books and mountaineering fiction.

    Thanks to the efforts of our librarian, Diane Schon, our library is now online. Books can be sorted by title, author, year, and status, or can be searched by keywords. The listing is available at flexlists.com . If you find a book you would like to sign out, please contact Diane at 403-283-7657 or by e-mail at stoondi@telus.net. Books will be available for pick up at the next section meeting or at Diane's residence. A sample of some of the titles in the collection includes:

    • Annapurna, Maurice Herzog, 1950

    • The Last Blue Mountain, Ralph Barker, 1959
