Historical Volumes
Mummies and Pyramids (High school level book)

I have decided that books can be checked out overnight. No more though since we do have so very few. Aerith, Marron, and myself are working hard on the next group of books we will soon be adding to the shelves.
EDIT: I do take reservations on books. Also, the school has a week long check-out time given that it is rather important to me that the children receive full use of whatever books we possess.
