This page gives some detail of the resources available to borrow free of
charge from Woodhead & Windyhills Community Trust library. We have stared a
regular library night on the first Monday of the month at the Woodhead Community
Centre from 7.00 pm to 8.30 pm, so please come along for a browse and a blether.
In addition to the reference books listed below we also have a number of other
resources:
- Leaflets on birds, flowers, spiders, insects, trees, fungi, grasses,
lichens, bugs, animal tracks and signs, ferns, and dragonflies.
- Posters for display on owls, squirrels, and birds.
- We are also building a library of photographs of the local flora and fauna,
the quarries, and the village.
- For children we have a variety of Spotters Guides - birds, wild flowers,
trees, bugs and insects.
This is the latest catalogue of books we have available in our library. For
