Book Library

Permaculture Noosa has a great library available for members to borrow books for a month at a time – see catalogue below. The library operates at our monthly club night meetings. Please remember to return books so we all have the opportunity to enjoy reading these great resources.

If there is anything you find particularly interesting, do share it by putting a paragraph in the newsletter. Just email it to our editor info@permaculturenoosa.com.au. And if you would like to see a particular book added to our library, or you would like to donate permaculture books, please come and see us at club night.
