CUAAS’s Lending Library
CUAAS is proud to announce that it now has a lending library of over 300 volumes available FREE to all members. This collection consists of books of popular science, philosophy, and critical religious studies, and a number of humanist magazines. Our collection is housed by the CUAAS librarian, Den.
We would like the library to be a valuable resource for inquiry into humanistic topics. Members will be able to study recent humanist journals, as well as books, all accessible to the intelligent non-specialist reader, on topics such as cosmology, biological evolution, applied ethics, objective examination of religious beliefs, and many other aspects of the ‘rationalist world-view’.
Borrowing:
- Members may borrow one book or journal at a time. This may be increased in future.
- Please send an email to Denis specifying the book or journal you would like to borrow.
- If available, it will be ready for collection at the next CUAAS meeting.
Below is a list of the library’s current holdings. If you are interested in a particular area or subject and would like assistance in identifying relevant material, please contact Den who will be more than happy to suggest and assist in finding what you are after.
