Resource Centre

The AGS Resource Center room is maintained by the society's librarians and staffed by member volunteers during the hours listed below.  The AGS Resource Center holdings have been acquired over the years through donations from individuals and organizations and through purchases made by the AGS.  These holdings includes a large number and variety of books and printed materials as well a significant CD collection and microfiche collection. The librarians and volunteers deserve a big vote of thanks for all their excellent work.

The AGS would also like to acknowledge the tremendous contribution made by the Clearbrook Library and its staff by way of the provision of the physical space for our Resource Center.
