FOR MEMBERS

Library

About our Library

The KSWA library exists to provide an information service to Koi society members. We have books, VCRs, CDs, and magazines available for members to borrow.

The library operates at every meeting (excluding May). There is no charge, except for VCRs ($5) and it is expected that borrowed items will be returned at the next meeting, so that others may borrow in turn.

There is no charge to borrow items from the library, except for VCRs which incur a $5 charge. We ask that members be considerable about returning items on time, so that other members may borrow them as well - a late fee of $2 per month is payable for late returns.

Currently the library does not operate at other club functions such as the Annual Show or Auctions.

If you have borrowed an item and are unable to make it to the next meeting to return it, you might like to contact a committee member or member near you and arrange for them to return it on your behalf (committee contact details are available in the newsletter).

Popular Items

We highly recommend every koi keeper owns a copy of "Keeping Koi in Australia" by Alison Copperfield - also called the "Koi Bible". This book is produced by the Koi Society of Australia, and is available for loan through the Library, or purchase through the Sales Table.

Other popular items:
"Manual to Nishikigoi" by Takeo Kuroki (B20)
"The Cult of Koi" by Michugo Tamadachi (B27)
"The Tetra Encyclopedia of Koi" by Tetra press (B18)
