Adopt a Book Scheme
The Worth Library currently has a number of books which are in need of conservation. If you would like to adopt one of the books below, please contact the Librarian. Once the book has been conserved, a webpage acknowledging the donation and outlining the process will be added to the Edward Worth Library website.
We currently have five books awaiting conservation:
Sebastian Brant, Stultifera Nauis ([Basel]; 1497).
