The Branch library is kept by Chris Winnick - books are available for borrowing by any branch member by mail order or pick up from:

Our committee member Derrick Smith has looked after our butterfly books for many years and is now taking a well-earned rest. Chris Winnick is now taking on the role of the librarian.

Chris is conscious that he is based a long way from many (in Kendal) but if you are ever passing through give him a ring to arrange to call round and he would be happy to help. Also if you are picking up a book (donated books also welcome), he should be able to arrange collection from Lancaster.  

The library also has lots of newsletters from other branches. If you're planning to visit another part of the country, these are very useful for finding the best butterfly sites by reading their field trip reports or looking at their local atlas.
