Repost: Free Books!

As summer is the season of repeats and as the last giveaway proved so popular:

Every year we weed our collection, to make room for all the new books acquired through the year and to remove old, out of date or damaged books. We do this both to make the most of library shelf space and to make sure that our collection remains as current and relevant as possible.

Most of these weeded books are earlier editions of core texts or supplementary titles on course reading lists for which we now have multiple copies of the most recent editions.

We dont have room for these books in our collections anymore but would like to give them a good home. So, we are giving them away for free to DBS students or staff. All you have to do to get your hands on some free books is come on up to the Aungier St. library, turn left this time, not right as this tranche of weeded books are on the desks near to the Short Loan Area issue desk and have a look at what's available and anything that takes your fancy, just stick it in you bag and take it home - simple as that.

Anything that remains unclaimed by the middle of August will be donated to charity or recycled.

Spread the word to classmates & colleagues - give a home to a poor unwanted library book!

Free Books!! - Part Deux - Law Books


The collection of weeded books needing new homes is shrinking fast here in Aungier st - our students know a good offer when they see one!

Following their stock check Portobello Library now have a large collection of weeded titles in urgent need of adoption.

Many of Portobello's weeded titles will be older editions of Law texts which cost a considerable amount to purchase new so its a great chance for students to pick up classic legal texts.

Weeded titles will be available in the Portobello Library until June 26th - so hurry on up to Portobello before they are gone!

Free Books!!


Anyone who has been in the Aungier St. library lately may have noticed the expanding pile of books stacked on the last rows of study desks in front of the library office.
