In addition to these, a large number of reference books and further classics have been obtained - from collections I have made - they've been donated by J.Morgan of Varteg and a retired librarian by the name of Corinne. We have a small amount of money remaining that was offered to Yr Hafan to spend on books - they are currently taking requests/recommendations from the various education departments - for any specific book requirements, we'll update you when these purchases have been completed. I've donated a number of titles myself, collected over the years of learning Welsh. If you'd like to donate to the library - please get in touch via Twitter, Facebook or e-mailing us. Regards, Jayne
