The UNR Students for Liberty are proud to present our Portable Library (of Liberty). It contains many books and essays that we believe will be of interest to our members for research and just plain old personal enjoyment.
As a member you may check out a handful of books at a time for a period of one month.* If another member should also wish to read a book or essay that is checked out, a recall will be placed on the book and the person currently in possession of the material will have until the next group meeting to return the material. To request a book or essay, contact Barry at [email protected] or come to a meeting.
While these books do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the members of this club, it is our hope that they will foster discussion and lead to the furtherence of liberty. This section will be constantly updated so be sure to check back every now and then to see what titles we currently carry.**
