Near and Far World Books@UoP

Near and Far World Books (NFWB@UoP) is a growing collection of bilingual, translated and non-English language children’s books. It incorporates the prestigious collection, Outside In World Children's Books in Translation, which are books that have been translated from their original language into English. The collections are situated near the Library Café, on the ground floor, for easy access for all our visitors. We actively encourage the collections to be used to support research and teaching at the University of Portsmouth and in the wider academic world, and for community outreach work.

Items within the collections are included on the Library Catalogue. and most items are available for loan. The shelfmark is preceded with "Near and Far World Books."
