Hey,<br><br>We want to build a lending library at our shop, a place where members can check out books and magazines. Probably it wouldn&#39;t be more than a few shelves worth of materials. I can see the library broken down into 3 categories:<br>
<br>Resource materials to check out: books on how to do repairs, how to plan for bike tours, memoirs from people who have toured on bike, how to make your own gear books, interesting bike reads, etc.<br><br>Resource books, on-site only: tech manuals<br>
<br>Magazines: informative (not a lot of marketing hype), and good/entertaining articles<br clear="all"><br>Or maybe not. Maybe not bother with magazines? Other thoughts? We have a good stack of books already from our volunteers, used books we&#39;ve gathered from thrift stores mostly, but I&#39;d like to seek funding for buying more books. I think we should have a few Park Big Blue Books, the Bicycle Wheel, and a Sutherland&#39;s for the shop.<br>
<br>What other recommendations do you think are must or should haves? <br><br>Thanks!<br>Liza<br>-- <br>Liza Mattana<br>president<br><a href="http://www.pedals2people.org">www.pedals2people.org</a><br>Spokane, WA<br>
