Main Library Audubon
Collection
|
 The Audubon Society of the
Everglades is Palm Beach County's local chapter of the National
Audubon Society. In 1979, the Audubon Society of the Everglades
(ASE) donated funds to Palm Beach County to establish an
ornithological collection at the Main Library on Summit
Boulevard in West Palm Beach.
The Society's Library Committee
selects the best of the new books published on birds and birding
for the library collection on an ongoing basis. The collection
is funded by bequests and donations to the ASE. Included in the
collection are books on bird watching and field guides to the
birds of all the regions of the globe, with special focus on
North and South American regions.
The collection also
features books about individual species of birds and about the
science of ornithology. Several important multi-volume
encyclopedias of the birds of the world are included. The
collection is an ongoing project of the Audubon Society of the
Everglades, and it is becoming one of the most informative and
complete collections of bird books found in Florida. All of the
Audubon books can be found in the library's online catalog and
most of the books are available to check out.
