A new Nature section for the Library

Published on 13/05/2019

We are fortunate to have the gardens and trees which surround the old Observatory. This green space is inhabited by a wide range of bird, animal and plant life. In order to enhance your interest and enjoyment of this, we have provided some books on natural history in Library Room A.

Books can be borrowed in the normal way by completing a loan card. But, don’t worry about this if you are just popping outside or around the building with the book.

The books are not new, most were purchased for small amounts in charity shops.
