Reading Room
We all do it - read a book that is so totally absorbing that it captures our imagination – and we have to tell somebody about it! You want friends, family and colleagues to share in the sheer delight that reading a good book can bring.
Recommended Reads work in the same way. Selected and compiled by library staff, they are books that staff have read and loved and would like to share with you.
Use Recommended Reads to discover something new to read. Or maybe you want to get back into reading and not sure where to start
