K.S.S. Library

The K.S.S. maintains the most extensive library of cave related material in the state of Kansas. The library is currently undergoing reorganization. All resources are available to members of the K.S.S. A limited selection of material, selected by the librarian or member's request, is available as a "traveling library" at K.S.S. quarterly meetings. Resources may also be ordered by mail with the library patron being responsible for postage and handling. Valuable or irreplaceable materials may not be mailed at the discretion of the librarian.

The K.S.S. is formed as an internal organization of the National Speleological Society and was officially chartered on May 30, 1984. Visit www.caves.org for N.S.S. membership information.

The K.S.S. publishes a newsletter, the Kansas Kaver, six times a year. In addition, a publication called Kansas Caves is published once per year. Both publications are available to K.S.S. members.

Membership to the K.S.S. is open to anyone who supports cave conservation. Send annual dues of $10 per year to the K.S.S. Treasurer Steve Kite. For more information, email kss@caves.org
