Guild Library Catalogue
This catalogue lists the entire contents of the Salisbury Diocesan Guild of Ringers' Library and updates and replaces all preceding lists. It is, therefore, necessary to destroy or disregard any older lists you may possess as the reference numbers contained therein may not correspond exactly with this latest publication.
As we do not hold a large stock, and for simplicity, items have been arranged under a limited number of headings for easy reference, together with a different number for every item listed. It will be noted that over 20 Items have been donated since the last catalogue was published two years ago, so grateful thanks are extended to those who have added to the Library over this period.
All books and records, except for certain fragile publications (which are marked with an asterisk), are available for borrowing by Guild members. Applications should be made direct to me at the address below. Postage (where necessary) must be paid by those borrowing items and two months is the maximum lending period allowed. Fragile items (and in fact any items in the Library) are, of course, available for reference but on a pre-arranged and suitable day and time. On no account should borrowers of books attempt to repair them in the event that pages and covers become loose or detached. Loose pages should simply be tucked back inside the book to which they belong.
Contributions of suitable books and records old and new, are always welcome. Also donations or book vouchers, possibly in memory of a past ringer, again will be gratefully received. Such will automatically become the property of the Guild. Any books given to the Library will be inscribed with the name of the donor and/or name of the person to be remembered.
