NYGH Lending Library
The library is a guild benefit and only open to NYGH members. Books may be checked out for one month. They may be renewed if no one else has requested the book. We do not ship books; you may pick them up at a meeting or at the librarian's mid-town apartment. Email NYGH.librarian@gmail.com to borrow books or publications.
