To tie in with the commemorations of World War I, Newbury Library currently has two stands of books dedicated to books depicting the First World War.

The centenary of the outbreak of the conflict has sparked the interest of young and old alike. Along with extensive TV coverage, several new books have been published and these are available to borrow from the library along with many other previously published titles about the war.

Commemorative displays of material about what was then called “The Great War” are being shown on both floors of the library throughout September. A book list of ‘recommended reading’ has also been printed which is available free of charge at the library.
