Hamilton Bonsai Club Library

One of the benefits of being a Hamilton Bonsai Club member is access to our extensive library of Bonsai books and Bonsai Magazines.

Over the years some are now missing but are kept listed in the hope they may re-surface one day. The entire library will not be brought to many meetings, those books most often taken out will be brought most often.

Any new books added will be listed as they arrive, and may be found at the end of this listing.

Please use the ‘Request a book’ form to reserve a book, any requested books will be brought to the next club meeting.
Books may be checked out by members only for $1.00 per month.
