These are not necessarily recommendations of excellence but books of which we hold multiple copies in stock (10 minimum), and is based in part on the requests made by the 300+ Reading Groups West Sussex Libraries support. It includes fiction, classics, non-fiction and biographies. Some titles may be available in alternative formats, please enquire when placing orders. Please remember that by giving advance notice of title selections the chances of supplying sufficient copies in time will be increased; and avoid requesting newly published titles, as these will still be in demand from individual customers.
