• NOTICE: We are accepting books and magazines! Don Hooker has built another bookcase for the library, we now have approx. 3000 books cataloged and are organized to house all donations. Don’t throw those aviation magazines and books away! We have gotten a very good reception to making selected (newer) aviation magazines available free to visitors and the sale of duplicate books has raised over $900.00 the last two years in a row. We are now also selling used Non-Aviation books (including novels) that are not subject appropriate for an Aviation Library – so bring it on, nothing goes to waste.

Masks are required for NON-VACCINATED persons ONLY. Free Admission but Donations Welcome.
