The Meher Baba Center of the Twin Cities has a wonderful lending library, conveniently located in St. Paul. For information and directions, please contact Leah at: leahleah27@hotmail.com
Comprised of hundreds of books and periodicals by and/or about Meher Baba, library material may be checked out for 30 days. Out-of-print and first edition materials can be read at the library. Some highlights of the collection include:
• Complete series of Awakener Magazines
• First Edition of Discourses
• Audio cassettes from public meetings and Sahavas held around the world.
The library collection started with a donation in 1996 from Mr. and Mrs. Ken Emery, who donated books from the estate of Earl Starcher, a Baba lover from New Mexico (see article below).

OUT OF THE BLUE
Out of the blue the phone rang one Sunday night at Judy Stone Nunnely's house. "Would the Minnesota group be interested in Earl's collection of books and photos of Meher Baba?"
They arrived by UPS in two weeks time, so carefully and lovingly wrapped by Mr. and Mrs. Ken Emery, buyers of Earl Starcher's property in Columbus, New Mexico. Earl the Pearl (as he was named by Mani) was architect of the "shrine to the Perfect Man," a replica (built in New Mexico - ed.) of Avatar Meher Baba's tomb in Meherabad. It was in August 1995 (See The Heartland News, Sept. 1995) that Judy and her mother Joy and Elizabeth Erickson had visited the shrine. They were met by Dave shade, caretaker of the shrine, who expressed great delight that Baba lovers were interested in seeing Earl's labor of love for his Master. Who but Baba would have known the future outcome of their visit!
