LIBRARY
The Area 79 Service Library strives to be an exhaustive resource for materials and resources developed in Area 79 that the fellowship may need to carry out service and share our vital message of recovery.
You can use the menu to locate a topic of interest, search for the name of a file in the search bar below, use the find feature on your web browser (by pressing CMD/CTRL + F) or simply scroll through. If something is missing, or if your committee, district or intergroup have a document that you think belongs here please let us know.
The Area 79 Library has two pages; the Service Library and the Committee Library. The Committee Library contains all documents relative to a committee in Area 79.
