The NESFA Library

The clubhouse houses NESFA's Library of about 20,000 science fiction books and videos including a great non-fiction reference collection plus an extensive run of SF magazines and fanzines. NESFA's library covers most of the wall (and window) space at the clubhouse. Members* may borrow any item, by signing it out electronically from the NESFA Clubhouse using the Koha cataloging system.  On most Wednesdays & Saturdays, we have Open Library hours from noon to 7pm when we catalog our Library. Non-NESFA members are welcome to help or just stop by to read a book. We are also usually open three Sundays a month (generally not the second Sunday) for Gaming but members may also come by during those times to use the library. See our schedule at https://www.nesfa.org/events/.

We are in the process of cataloging our library. We have cataloged our videos, young reader fiction collection, main single-author fiction collection, our anthologies, and our non-fiction. Still to come is finishing cataloging our art books, graphic novels, and audio books. The list of what we have cataloged so far is available at www.tinyurl.com/NESFALibraryCatalog. 

Finally, we accept donations for the library with some restrictions. Please see NESFA Library Donations. We are especially looking for the items on our wish list. Please see NESFA Library Wish List.

* Membership is open to all and is currently $24 per year ($12 per year for those under 18).
