The link attached to each book provides a description of its content through Country Bookshelf in Bozeman. SAS encourages members to purchase these books locally if possible (ex. Country Bookshelf or Vargo’s). If you choose to purchase from Amazon, please do it through Amazon Smile (smile.amazon.com) and select Sacajawea Audubon as your non-profit. In this way, a small amount of your purchase will be donated to SAS.
