The Audubon Society of the
Everglades is Palm Beach County's local chapter of the National
Audubon Society. In 1979, the Audubon Society of the Everglades
(ASE) donated funds to Palm Beach County to establish an
ornithological collection at the Main Library on Summit
Boulevard in West Palm Beach.
The Society's Library Committee
selects the best of the new books published on birds and birding
for the library collection on an ongoing basis. The collection
is funded by bequests and donations to the ASE. Included in the
collection are books on bird watching and field guides to the
birds of all the regions of the globe, with special focus on
North and South American regions.
