The Stefansson Institute Arctic Library
The Institute has a small but growing library (see complete collection) specialising in Arctic issues, with an emphasis on communities and sustainable development. The library is intended primarily for SAI staff and visiting scholars, but is also open to other interested individuals who may, with special permission, borrow books and other materials.
