ACC Chess Book Library

The ACC has a large (huge!!) collection of chess books available for our members. Recently we received a very nice donation of chess books that we would like to say thank you for.

If you would like to "Check Out" a book, you can send your request to Joe Yun using the email form below. Joe can bring the text to the next club meeting if it is available (the more advance notice the better). Here is a list of the books:
