Austin Kids Chess Club has purchased a lot of chess books to be used as chess tournament prizes. We put them in a small chess library together with some of our personal books to make a better use of them. You are welcome to borrow any book in the library; just send nam67@yahoo.com an email so that we can arrange for a pick-up. You may be required to make a deposit (up to the list price of the book) for each borrowed book. The deposit will be fully refunded to you when the book is returned in good condition. Each book can be checked out for 2 weeks and can be renewed if it is not requested by another person. If the book is requested as a tournament chess prize, it will no longer be available for check-out.
Please also let me know if there is a good book you want to see added to the library, or if you can add (loan/donate) your books to the library.
