On behalf of the Western Chess Club, I would like to express our gratitude towards the Morley family who generously donated their collection of chess books, periodicals, and tournament bulletins. This collection contains works from some of the most prolific champions and authors in the rich history of chess. The majority of books are written in old notation, but it is simple to learn, and will provide you with hours of enjoyment!

If you are interested in borrowing a book, please contact Andrew Pastor As members of the Western Chess Club, these materials are free of charge!!! However, a deposit of $20 must be provided and will be returned after the book is given back to the club.
