Thanks to funding from the Local Network Fund, we were able to establish our branch resource library a few years ago. We have recently added extra titles thanks to fund raising by our members.

With almost 300 books plus some videos, DVDs and educational games available, on a wide range of ASD topics, this is an invaluable resource. The books include a number of Asperger novels for children.

Please note:
Many of these books can also be puchased from the National Autistic Society
and/or Jessica Kingsley Publishers.

The full Library is open at our Support Group meetings, usually held on the 3rd Monday of the month and a smaller selection available at our monthly Family Youth Clubs (please check the Diary dates page for details) . Please see the conditions of library membership and loan in the right-hand panel.

The Branch also publishes its own useful information leaflets which can be downloaded here.

For those unable to attend meetings regularly, members may contact the Branch Officer to join the library and specific items, if available, may be reserved for arranged collection.
