Library Connect August 2026
This edition of Library Connect has new journal issues and a few online articles for your interest. The Library currently has a number of books that are available free to staff and associates on the ‘discards’ table. These include donated books or surplus copies removed from the Library’s collection. Please feel free to visit and browse!
The Library is staffed Monday – Friday 9.30am – 4.30pm and I can also be contacted by email, phone, or Teams if you need assistance.
The ‘click and collect’ box in the Visitor Centre is available for returning items, and I am happy to leave items there for collection if that is easier than visiting the Library.
Thank you,
Ainslee Austin
Librarian & Archivist
For your interest
