The Way to More Light After you were raised to a Master Mason, your lodge promised to provide you with all the light it could bestow.  Arlington Masonic Lodge strives to accomplish this objective through its Thomas Spencer Memorial Library – a vast library of Masonic resources.  If you are a Mason, you are welcome to come check it out. In the library we have books, coins, lodge minutes, brochures, pamphlets, magazines, and videos.  We even have Texas Grand Lodge proceedings dating back to the 1800’s as well as York Rite proceedings.  A listing of the library holdings is available in a PDF format which makes it very easy to search for a specific book title or author. The latest PDF file is available at the link below. Make a point of coming to visit.  Reach out to the lodge secretary or library committee members for more information, and the rules in place to preserve our resources for the next generation.
