THE TEX RICKARD LIBRARY

This consists of some 350 volumes of philatelic literature, and an alphabetical catalogue by subjects is available from the Hon. Librarian. Members are free to borrow books, but are asked to return them within four meetings unless an extension is arranged with the librarian. Suggestions for additions to the library are always welcome. The library catalogue has been split into sections:
