LIBRARY (Winter 2003)
To help people educate themselves about environmental issues, and to help them gain access to the outdoors, we have gathered together a small library.
The books and magazines are open to all, in the reading alcove of the Caltech Y lounge.
Feel free to take home anything you find particularly interesting, but let us know you are borrowing.
