Jim, et. al.,
I talked with Marty, KB3XMX, the MDC Section Manager, last night and he clued 
me in to a deal that is available to ARRL affiliated clubs.  The ARRL has 
something called the "ARRL Library Book Set" (http://www.arrl.org/shop/ARRL-Library-Book-Set) which contains the following books:

The ARRL Handbook for Radio Communications
The ARRL Antenna Book for Radio Communications
The ARRL Operating Manual
The ARRL Satellite Handbook
The ARRL Ham Radio License Manual
The ARRL General Class License Manual
The ARRL Extra Class License Manual
Understanding Basic Electronics
The ARRL RFI Book
Your First Amateur Radio HF Station
FCC Rules and Regulations for the Amateur Radio Service
ARRL Amateur Radio Map of the World Azimuthal

All of these books are available for $200/set.  This would require revisiting 
the topic with the reference librarian at Prince Frederick since these books 
would take up significantly more space than the two books we were originally 
discussing.  We could also purchase a set for our club library if we wanted 
to.

This is a much higher cost than we were originally considering but is also a 
much better deal with you add up the costs of these book individually.  We can 
talk about it more at the next meeting but I thought I would share this with 
everyone now so we could discuss it before.  Maybe we should purchase one of 
these sets and a Technician and a General book for the Calvert Libraries and 
then figure out what to do with the school system libraries?

Lots of options!
