BOOKS AT THE OAKES MUSEUM

We at The Oakes Museum have carefully chosen the books for sale at our gift shop.
Our criteria was two-fold:
- to relate directly to the collections our visitors see in the museum
- to be a resource for a child or adult who wants to learn more about an animal, a shell or a mineral after their visit to the museum.

The following are the books we have for sale at unbelievably affordable prices:
