The grotto is working on reorganizing the collection in to a system that will enable viewing of what is available to members.

We still need your help however!  If you have any caving related materials, documents, books, etc that you would be interested in donating to the library, please contact us!  

Documents and Books will be available offline due to copyright protection.  Un-Copyrighted documents, including the ESSO Bee will be available online.

Contact  Jonathon Lewis, the grotto Librarian, about more information on the library.


Sara Corrie - Past ESSO Member

Sara Corrie, pictured above, was one of the earlier members of the ESSO.  She was very active in the grotto and worked hard to help it grow.  Without her, we would not see the grotto where it is today.  Her son, George-Bruce Corrie, an ESSO member, is a long time employee of the NPS at Mammoth Cave.
