Leisure Reading Centre
The Leisure Reading Centre, situated on the Lending Floor, contains
a large collection of material for loan.
Books
Fiction to suit all tastes, including the latest bestsellers, and
non-fiction covering all subjects, can be borrowed here. Books in
large print are also available. There is a selection of popular
fiction and non-fiction for teenagers. We also have a wide range
of titles with a local Scottish theme.
If you'd like to read something a bit different, why not try something
by one of the up and coming authors on our New
to Us, New to You page.
Books in Other Languages
As well as books in Eastern European languages, books in other
languages are also available, these include Spanish, German, Italian,
French, Urdu, Chinese, Arabic, Bengali, Hindi and Punjabi.
Book Awards
An area is located at the entrance of the department that highlights
current book award titles. These include nominations, and winners,
for the Orange award, as well as the Booker prize. Richard and Judy
Book Club recommendations are also listed here. This information
is updated on a weekly basis.
Teenage Library
Specialist study books are available in the Teenage Library and
the department can supply reading lists for specialist study. Multiple
copies of the titles are available. View our Specialist
Study Booklists.
