If you have reference materials you would like to donate, we welcome current RIM-related publications that have been gently used and can be shared with others. If you would like to suggest topics or titles to add to the library or have materials you would like to donate, please contact Jess Hendrickson, Chapter President, jess.hendrickson@chugach-ak.com or 907.261.0461.
