Our library collection consists of around 1400
titles, including books, maps, and videos. Subject areas
include biking; hiking; climbing rock, ice, and glaciers;
backpacking; sea kayaking; white water boating; natural
history; environmental issues; fitness and training; first
aid; and some history and cultural information relevant to the
Pacific Northwest. For the various activities, there are books
on where to go (both in the United States and in foreign
countries) and how to do it, as well as histories and stories.
We have all books published by Mountaineers Books and by many
other publishers.
How do I get a book, map, or video?
To check out a book, you can either go to the Library at Maxine Dunkelman’s house (see below) or she might meet you somewhere with the books you want. You can also arrange for Maxine to bring your book requests to the next Mountaineer event. Call or email to arrange a time and place. You can usually keep the books for a couple of months. Feel free to take the books on your next trip, just protect them in a good waterproof bag.
Please come and visit your library, even if just to browse!
Day or evenings, weekday or weekends, but call first (Maxine
786-6512, before 9 pm),
