Aviation Books Wanted
The Lee Renaud Memorial Library is looking to expand its collection of model and full-scale aviation books. If you have nonfiction aviation books that are gathering dust on the shelf, you have just completed that scale model you always wanted to build, or you have reference books that you no longer need, please consider donating them to the AMA library.
If you would like to help by contributing books or reference materials, contact Rich LaGrange at 5151 E. Memorial Dr., Muncie, IN 47302; (765) 287-1256, ext. 506; or [email protected]. He will check for duplicates and advise the best and most economical way to ship materials to the library.
