North Cheshire Bowmen’s Library

Shooting technique History Making Bows Novels

The club has a number of archery-related books which are available for loan to club members.

If you wish to borrow any of these books, please email/contact the librarian (see below) with the title

that you wish to borrow, and they will arrange with you a mutually convenient time to collect the book

from the club. On receipt of the book you will have to pay a £1 deposit, which will be returned only

if you return the book to the librarian within the one month loan period.

It then becomes your responsibility to look after it, to return it within the one month (or as soon as

possible thereafter if you miss this deadline), and to replace or pay for it if lost. Note that many of

the books are now out of print and may be difficult/expensive to replace.

Please do not transfer books directly to other club members, but always go via the librarian; otherwise

the club will loose track of who has which books and you will remain responsible for it until its return.

If you have any archery-related books that you would like to donate, or lend, to the library, then please

contact the librarian:

Below is a summary of the titles available, and the current loan status of each copy.
