What the committee does:
The National Speleological Society Library has the largest and most diverse collection of literature about caves and caving in the United States. The collection is very broad and contains publications printed by the NSS and NSS internal organizations. It also includes books, periodicals, and other literature published by independent publishing companies and other speleological organizations both in the US and other countries.
Yes! The Library is open on weekdays from 8 am to 5 pm. You can also contact the librarian to arrange visits after-hours and possibly on weekends under special circumstances. If you visit the library in person, you can browse the collection and find the needed materials. Since the library only has a few copies of each item, you cannot check out books or other materials. However, you can make photocopies of anything in the library for ten cents a page. Contact the librarian for help with your research.
