OMC library
The OMC keeps a selection of climbing/walking guides and other books in its Library. Please contact us if you have any suggestions for new acquisitions.
Key
Oxford: These climbing and walking guides for other areas are kept by the Librarian (James Carpenter) and relevant ones will usually be given to meet organisers to take on meets. You can also borrow them on request.
Cefn: These North Wales guides are kept at Cefn Garw so they are available for use by members staying there.
Archive: These old out-of-date guides and other general interest books are also kept at Cefn Garw for members and visitors to read when there.
Missing: The Librarian would be grateful if these re-appeared...
