MGA Library
Announcement: The MGA libraries are now available for borrowing through the public library system. The Executive believe that this new system of borrowing will allow better access to these goat resources.
Go to your local library to request one of the books or other resources listed below. If your local library doesn't have it on the shelf, they will order it for you through inter-library loan.
One copy of the MGA library is with the librarian Tammy Turner in Minnedosa.
