We’ve always bought lots of books on sport but as this year is rather special we’ve been editing our collections, buying new stock and making sure all our libraries are fit for 2008 and beyond. This year is also the National Year of Reading and the nationwide theme is sport.

 

We have the life stories of sporting heroes but the books that are proving to be really popular are those that tell you how to actually play sport and how to keep fit. Of course anything to do with football is always a hit, especially tips on coaching techniques and tactics, but surprisingly the books that are flying off the shelves are on martial arts!

 

To find out what we’ve got in stock, check our online catalogue. You’ll also find here a reading list called, ‘Reading the Game’ and information on local clubs and amenities via Infolinx, an online database for the city and county.

 

And if you can’t find what you’re looking for, let us know and we’ll see if we can buy it to add to stock. City residents can place requests free of charge.
