Resources at Hadeel

We keep a small resource centre at Hadeel that is open to everyone. Books can be taken out for up to 2 weeks and DVDs for one week – we require your contact details and a £5 deposit which we’ll return when the item comes back in – please come in for a browse.

Staff and volunteers will be on hand if you would like any advice on what books are best for you, and we also have a reading corner if you would like to sit and browse the books.
