The West of London Astronomical Society-library details
WOLAS maintains a comprehensive library with a range of books, videos, CD ROMs, tapes and
magazines. We have a subscription to Sky and Telescope the BAA journal. A selection is brought along to each meeting.
Each member is issued with two library cards which entitle them to loan up to two items for two months each. Members
are encouraged to make suggestions for new additions to the library.
