The book collection contains titles from some of the leading organizations in the region and in the world, including but not limited to: AAPG, AIME, EG, GSA, USBM, USDA, USDE, and USGS.
The collection is housed at the Downtown Library. For more information please Ask a Librarian or call 432-688-4320.
