Gifts
We are happy to accept additions to our stock in the form of gifts. However, as space and capacity are limited, we have to make a careful selection. The best way to help us is to send us as much information as possible about the quantity and the media contained in advance, especially in the case of larger collections such as bequests. Please always contact us by email before delivering books. Information about the titles already in the library can also be found in the catalogues listed above.
