Coming Soon – Booksale

From Monday, the 3rd of March, the Sainsbury Library will be holding a book sale where students can buy second hand and, in some cases, unused books that are not required by the library. In order to purchase a book you will need to come into the library. We will have a display of the books on offer, with laminated photos of the book covers – simply pick up the photo of the book you are interested in, and then bring this to the enquiry desk to make your purchase. Please note this will operate on a first-come first-served basis, and we cannot offer to reserve items by phone or email. Payment at the enquiry desk must be in cash.
