Potomac Valley Chapter
of the
American Rhododendron Society
Chapter Library Offerings

Our library has become too large to carry all books to each meeting. Instead, we ask that you request a book from our Chapter Librarian, Jean Beaudry, at least one week prior to a regular chapter meeting. She will bring the book to that meeting for you to check out. Books should be returned to her at the next regular meeting. Below is the current list.
