Bookfinder Service

Bookfinder Service
Would you like us to find that special book for you to borrow from the library?

Search the library catalogue to find out if we have an item. You can reserve for free items in stock in any of our libraries.

If we don't have your item in stock you can use Request an Item, pay £3.00 and we will locate a copy from other library services in the UK, deliver it to your closest library and let you know it's there.

For additional £5.00 - if we still cannot source your item we will contact you and offer our EXTRA service to locate a copy from national and academic libraries such as The British Library, deliver it to your closest library and let you know it's there.

If you visit one of our libraries, staff will be happy to help you source any items you require.

From this page you can also renew your items, join the library and access the Digital Library.
