The FCSS society maintains an extensive library that includes numerous "specialty" books and journals from around the world on topics related to cacti and succulents, horticulture, and general botanical subjects. These books are available for borrowing at the meetings, two at a time, by members for a term of up to two months. New additions are made regularly to update the currency of the information

Donations of useful material are accepted by the Society. Contact the Librarian.

Sue Haffner is the current Society librarian.

Books are alphabetized by key words in the title rather than by the first word as the title appears. Authors or publishers appear in italics.
