The IMC Library, containing over 600 items, has been lent to the Mountaineering Ireland (MI) Members’ Library since 2013 in order to make it accessible to all IMC members.
The MI Members’ Library contains over 3,000 items, including: guidebooks, travel stories, handbooks, periodicals and maps. Up to six books can be borrowed at the same time for a period of three weeks. Depending on requests from other MI members an extension of the loan period may or may not be possible. Please note that some very old or damaged books cannot be borrowed and can only be read at the MI office.
