Appropriate Technology Library

As part of the Apace commitment to promote sustainable development, a library and resource centre have been established at Winter House which has an extensive collection of material on appropriate technologies and other environmental topics. The collection includes monographs, journals, audio visual material and teaching aids. This unique library provides a good range of topical books and publications with a reading room and photocopying facilities. You are invited to make use of its services.

The Library and Resource Centre is open 9 am - 5 p.m. Monday to Friday and is part of the inter-library loan system of WA enabling members to access material through your local lending-library. Members of the public are welcome to use the Centre for research and reference. Apace members may borrow books and non-current journals for up to four weeks.

Membership costs $10 p.a. [$5 if unwaged] and members receive a quarterly newsletter and other benefits including advance notice of courses and other events.
