MAGS Library

The library is open for business at the beginning and end of every general membership meeting (except August and December). Items may be checked out during those times for a period of two months. Items may be renewed. Fines apply for delinquent check-outs.

Dr. Michael Gibson, UT-Martin Department of Geology, author of a book on the Devonian fossils of West Tennessee, has graciously donated a copy of his book to the MAGS library. Stop by the library table at the next MAGS meeting and check it out.
