	The library is a collection of mostly computer books that we have assembled over the years through our day to day donations. It is currently housed on 3 double sided shelves in the Library, near the Office supplies area. Housed on part of one shelf is a "reference only" section. There is a list of [[Books We Want]] to look out for (or request). Currently we are saving books on computer languages and other general subjects, but not specific manuals for operating systems or hardware. Discussion of the library largely takes place on the [http://lists.freegeek.org/listinfo/bookworms bookworms] email list. It is under the supervision of the [[Education]] (Education committee). At this point, there is no process or policy for checking out books, but they are available for staff and volunteers to read here, and for core volunteers to check out using the [[Borrow book]].

 *avoid, for next 6 months at least, taking in any new books unless we have room for them in free books areas.
