Where can I find my book?
Books are organised on our shelves by classmark (using the Dewey Decimal system). This page lets you find the physical location of a book on its shelf. If you want to know if the Library has a particular book in stock, you can search the Library Catalogue by title, author or subject. Just click on the big blue search button at the top of this page.
