The library was started in 1974. 80 books were lent to the club by members and subsequently donated. Money was raised by running raffles, but eventually the committee voted a yearly contribution.
The library has now grown to 1500 VOLUMES and is probably one of the best bridge club libraries.
THE LIBRARY IS OPEN HALF AN HOUR BEFORE EACH SESSION AND ONE OF THE SIXTEEN LIBRARIANS IS ALWAYS READY TO HELP. WE CHARGE A NOMINAL BORROWING FEE, 20c FOR 2 WEEKS AND 10c PER WEEK THEREAFTER. WE ALSO SUBSCRIBE TO EIGHT MAGAZINES.
