The acquisition of this fine collection of books about our local desert and about deserts of the world has been one of the main projects of the Friends of the College of the Desert Library.

The Desert Collection includes books and periodicals about deserts from the Colorado Desert to the Sahara. Some of the rare and out-of-print books are now housed in a hand-crafted cabinet and are only for use in the library.
