Building the Collection

While the building works are forging ahead, the Library team have been busy building the collection for the new branch.

Items are now being boxed up, labled and arranged for the removalists. Countless boxes of new books, DVD's and CD's have been purchased and processed over the last 12 months. The following photos will give you an idea of just how much space 10,000 items takes up.
