Library Upgrade The Club Library is being renewed with new books. In order to do so we will need donations of more recent titles. Books published in the last 20 years only or recently published. If you have books at home you no longer need or want, please consider donating them to the Haviland Club Library. The books should be clean, no marks or damage to them, no pages missing and no pages marked or written in.
Books NOT suitable for this project are encyclopedias, dictionaries, atlases, school books, textbooks, magazines, periodicals, specialized legal or professional books. Any general books on various topics, fiction, biographies, etc are welcome. They can be soft cover or hard cover. If you have any questions please contact Laurent directly through his email address or see him at the Club. Laurent is responsible for this project.
Come to the Haviland Club. The draw is the people!
