Book shopping - try before we buy

Our books on approval scheme is back!

We want to be sure that the books we buy are the books you actually need to support your work and learning.

We review publisher's catalogues, scan reading lists and peruse different web sites, but what we like best is when you tell us what you want us to stock.

That is where our books on approval scheme comes in. Every two months our supplier sends us a selection of new publications on relevant health topics which are available for you to review and suggest titles for us to purchase (or sometimes, not to purchase!).

Our current selections will be available at the Berrywood and Richmond libraries until Friday the 26th of June. Topics covered include:
  • Cardiology
  • Haematology
  • Nursing (general and mental health)
  • Psychology
  • Psychiatry
  • Pulmonary & Thoracic Medicine
  • Research
  • ...and many more
Of course we are always happy to have recommendations for new stock on any health related topic.
You can also find a list of titles we have recently purchased (including previous On Approvals) on our web site and all of our stock via the library catalogue
