Books and Journals
The Library has an extensive collection of print materials, including course textbooks, revision guides, past papers, quick reads, fiction, graphic novels, local history, newspapers and journals. Most items are available to borrow, although some items are for reference only. Each month, the Library has a display that focuses on specific subject areas or highlights relevant topics.
