There is also recreational material and fiction. The main bookstock is shelved in one sequence upstairs, the reference collection is in the Lower Library, as is fiction and all over-sized books.
Periodicals and non-print materials
A selection of periodicals can be found downstairs near the entrance to the Lower Library, with back copies kept inside the magazine rack. Newspapers are available for one term.
