In the Heritage Centre we have a few reference books which are freely available for visitors to read through. Please just ask a member of staff to assistance. Most of the books have a local interest, but some focus on Brandon’s heritage. The books cannot leave the Heritage Centre, but can be read during your visit, so if you want to reserve one ready for your visit then just let us know. Below is the list of books held in the library.
