New books in our library

16 June 2017

In recent months the library has had less money to buy new books and it’s been hard to choose which books to buy out of all the new publications and suggestions from library members.

Here are our most recent new books. We’ve chosen ones on subjects we are asked for most frequently and we’ve received a few donated books too.
