🤠 THE GOOD. THE BAD. THE OVERDUE. 🤠

Round here, every book’s got a story. Some come back on time. Some get a little lost on the trail. And then there are the ones folks don’t like to talk about…

The Overdue 🌵

Hidin’ in bedrooms, buried in bags, stashed away in car boots...

Now, if you’re graduatin’ this summer, your library account closes 30 June. It's time to do right by ’em, partner - return those books to the Library. ’Cause their shelves are waitin’ …and, well… we are too. 🐎

🚨 MISSING LIBRARY BOOKS 🚨

Have you seen them?

They were last spotted bravely leaving the Library… and have not been seen since.

They may be frightened, hiding under beds, tucked behind shelves, or accidentally shut in cupboards, out-buildings, or car boots. Please check carefully - they won’t know how to find their way back on their own 🥺

If you’re graduating this summer, your library account closes on 30 June.

Please help these poor, confused books find their way home before then.

Their shelves miss them. We miss them.💚
