Another year draws to a close at NXL and you've all been wonderful helping us to keep this vital service going. We thank everyone who comes in the door, but special thanks must go to Nick, Colin and Ian for their fantastically generous donations of books and money to NXL!
Great friend of the library Nick has made a huge book donation to us, including many Folio Society editions of Shakespeare's plays, dating from the 50s and 60s, and a complete set of Folio Society Collected Plays. So if you're interested in either or both, come in and make us an offer!

Our basement archive is now open Saturday afternoons from 13:30 to 16:30 (and some ad-hoc weekday times)
We've (thanks Penny!) had an enormous sort-out of our basement fiction archive so searching for a particular author or book is now possible! If there's something specific you're after, feel free to message or email us and we can have a look, or if you're passing, drop in and take a look yourself!

We're having a tabletop sale! Drop by for the usual selection of books, vinyl and DVDs, along with bric-a-brac, jewellery, plates, scarves, bags and some frankly unidentifiable but eminently worth purchasing items!
A very kind person donated a few bags of books yesterday and we are super-grateful. However there was also a bag of personal documents and photos amongst the books, so if the donor happens to read this, perhaps they could come to collect them as we have no confidential shredding on site

Ooh fantastic! Is there some way we can see the others?
The library is entirely volunteer-run and we are indeed organising the campaign with a bit of logistical help from our umbrella organisation, Bold Vision. Thanks for taking the time, and if you're in the area drop by for a cup of tea!
