Stack collection
The sheer volume of our collection makes it impossible to keep all titles in one of our library branches. Books and other items that are not in frequent demand are kept in our stack collection.
If you come across a title in our catalogue kept in the stack, you can reserve the item and have it delivered to your nearest branch free of charge.
Requests for stack items can also be made at any library branch.
