We are delighted to announce that once again we are the accessibility partner for the world-renowned Hay Festival, bringing a fantastic range of books and writers to our members so they can join in with this highlight in the literary calendar.

With the queen's jubilee celebrations in full swing, we've taken the opportunity to take a royal tour through our British history collection to see what we have on other kings and queens who've sat on the throne of England.

This month’s highlight is one of the brilliant, shortlisted books for this year’s Carnegie Award, now available for older members to enjoy!

This year, Dementia Action Week is 16-22 May. If dementia affects you and your family, or if you would like to learn more, we have gathered together the books in our collection that can help navigate our understanding through both personal experience and fictional depiction.
