Library Policy
Alberta Wildlife Carving Association has a wide variety of books, magazines, casts and reference pictures and patterns for your carving needs.
All items are marked with a catalogue number to enable the librarians to keep items catalogued and filed in the proper place. We encourage you to browse the catalogue for your information or ask for assistance if needed. Items may be checked out in two-week increments. Please inform the librarian if you wish to keep materials over the summer since we account for everything in the spring and would like to know that nothing has gone missing.
Browsing:
Please remember, when looking at material put it back in the same spot so everyone else can find it. When you remove an item for the files please place a marker stick (paint stick) so it is easier to put the item back, especially magazines. The casts are in baskets in numerical order so they are easier to find and put back. Books and bills are listed in order on the inside of the door.
Checking Out:
Please complete the form with your name, date, item number with a description of the item. Please inform the librarian when you are returning something so it can be recorded are returned.
