The Radio Club of Tacoma Library includes hundreds of books relating to amateur radio, electronics, and radio science that may be found on the shelves of the Oakman Research Library collection on the upper floor of the Clubhouse and in the DeMaw Circulating Library collection in the Classroom.
All of the resources in the Library are curated, organized and maintained by the Radio Club of Tacoma Library Committee under the leadership of our head librarian Doug Oakman, AD7AV (
DeMaw Circulating Library
These holdings may be checked out for home use by members. ONE book or resource per member may be checked out from the DeMaw Library for a period of 21 days until needing to be returned. Upon return, the same book may not be renewed until it has been available to other members for one week (whether in return box or on shelf).
Please be sure to complete the check-out card with Member Number and date out/back in. Check-out cards should remain in the check-out box until librarians deal with them.
This policy encourages getting a book or resource be read through in timely fashion, as well as to enable greater access for other members.
Oakman Research Library
These holdings are available to members for research purposes during Saturday Open House events and at some other times. These holdings do not circulate. Non-members may request access to the research library holdings by appointment.
Club members who log in to this website can view extended catalog information including a number of "eBooks" from the early days of radio and links to additional print and media resources.
