Help us to buy the books that you want to read. Every six weeks, we receive a collection of new books on approval, in a variety of specialities.

This is where you come in. If you can spare the time, please come and have a look at the titles we have and recommend any that you think the library should purchase. This is your opportunity to ensure that the book stock in the libraries reflects your needs.

We would also be happy to receive any other recommendations for purchases for library stock.

These current titles will be available for viewing at both libraries until Monday the 11th of January.
