We offer an outstanding collection of books, periodicals, videos, and club records. Our historic and current sources of information focus on outdoor recreation including rock, snow, water and mountaineering sports. There is also an emphasis on conservation, human and natural history. You will find it a rich resource for trip planning, skills improvement (including "how to" information), and historical research.

Access to library materials is available to Mountaineers and non-members during posted time periods. Members may check out books, newsletters, magazines, DVDs, and videos, except those items considered to be irreplaceable. Non-members are welcome to use the library resources for research.

The library is managed by a part-time, professional librarian and many volunteers. New volunteers are always welcome.

The Mountaineers library is located in the NEW Mountaineers Building. As you come in the main entrance, look for the stairs leading up on your right.

Please see our calendar below for the most current schedule of evening openings.
