Our book wish list

We’re always looking for newly published or ‘must-have’ books to keep the library collection fresh and exciting, and to make sure it meets the needs of our users.  Since we have no budget for new books, so we’re always very grateful for donations from library users, supporters and publishers.

Here are some books that have made their way onto our ‘wish list’.  Many of them come with a glowing recommendation from our learners and borrowers.

If you’d like to donate any of these books, we’d be absolutely delighted.
