Deposits and Priviledges

Austin Bellydance Association Members:  please contact Sahhira (click here) to arrange for a time to come and check out the library.  The Library is now located at Sahhira’s house in northeast Austin, about 7 miles from the University area.  Email for the specific address.  We regret that the Library is not set up to mail items to members for check-out.  You can mail your checked items back but it's easy to just drop them (except for oversized books) off in the mail slot (like a real library!) at ANY time and save the shipping postage.
