Looking after the Library
It costs a lot to look after our collection and keep the books in usable condition for our readers and visitors. We are grateful for our NADFAS volunteers who come in on a regular basis to clean books and pamper them with leather dressing, but sometimes more drastic help is needed and we need to call in the conservator.
There are lots of ways you can give support to the Library, including becoming a Patron, which costs a lot less than you might think. Through support in the form of an annual donation of at least £38, you will ensure that the Library continues to flourish, allowing us to fund special projects, acquire new equipment, and add to the Library’s collections.
