There is a collection of several hundreds of books at Octagon. While there is usually not extensive amount of time for reading, there are occasions where pulling down a book and browsing is available. Examples might be for that early evening time-to-relax session, or if it happens to rain heavily where outdoor activities are curtailed.
The book collection is broken down into four small libraries:
