	Professional Reading The Library supports the Chief of Staff Reading and the Space Professional Reading Lists. We have the books and information on these and other professional reading lists. If you are interested in participating in a book group, please contact the library. CLAF Notes The Vandenberg Library needs your help, we are creating Reader Guides called CLAF NOTES. The guides will feature summaries, analysis and general information about the books and authors from the CSAF and Space Professional Reading Lists. The library has created booklets on all the books on these lists, and wants to add Vandenberg's readers input in the next editions. If you have read or going to read books on either of these lists and would like to contribute information and feedback or want assistance in understanding these books contact Dixie or Christine at the Base Library.
