Stock All Waltham Forest libraries stock a range of adults and childrens fiction and non-fiction titles including large print titles and Audiobooks on CD.
Stock Suggestions
We try really hard to make sure that we have the books that you like to read in your local library. However, if you can't find the book you are looking for on the shelves then let us know. We can't promise to buy it but we'll definitely have a look and if it fits with our stock policy and we think lots of other people would also like to read it then you might find it in a library near you in a matter of weeks.
