Have your say!

Help the Library to buy recreational DVDs and CDs that you will enjoy!

Staff and students are encouraged to let library staff know of any movies or music that they would like to see the library buy for the collection.

Have your say!

The buying of these kinds of resources generally only happens every year or so, but we always have a running list, so be patient and we will get to your suggestion.
