Announcing the new and improved Ann Arbor Magic Club Book Library. The Book Library has been in storage for many years and thanks to the efforts of several members, it is now back, online and better than ever.
- Dan Jones has been storing the collection. He performed a full inventory and then with the assistance of Karl Rabe the collection was cataloged online. Dan and Karl also added many books that had been donated to the club over the years to the library.
- Karl Rabe implemented the electronic catalog system and as mentioned worked with Dan to scan the books into the library.
- Phil Mann has agreed to be our Club Librarian. He will be responsible for the safe keeping of the collection and for bringing requested books to our meetings as well as collecting checked-out books when due and putting them back in storage.
- Bob Goodwin donated several books helping in the collection where a few books were missing.
We have cataloged our entire library online and have a straight forward process for members to request books.
