AMERICAN NUDIST RESEARCH LIBRARY® from REALLY Special Libraries By Shirl Kennedy, The Resourceshelf

Posted by Celia Walter | 4 Jun, 2009

    Welcome to the American Nudist Research Library(R) (ANRL). The
    Library was established in 1979 to preserve the history of the
    social nudist movement in North America and throughout the world.
    It is a repository of material rather than a circulating library.
    Visitors may read or view most of the collection as long as they
    are in the Library. The Library is enjoyed most by individuals and
    groups who treasure on-going nudist activities, and who wish to
    participate in a sincere effort to preserve the unique history of
    the movement.

Although there's no OPAC here, you can read about the collection,
which is apparently in the process of being converted to electronic
archives. Note that the site does include photos of patrons using the
library; you won't see anything particularly shocking or 'unsafe for
work,' but we're willing to bet that you don't see folks like this in
your library. You'll also find a small listing of Links to Nudist
Website of Interest. And, in case you were wondering, 'The ANRL is
located on the grounds of Cypress Cove Nudist Resort in Kissimmee,
Florida, next to the the tropically landscaped pool area.'
