Our Meeting House Library. Within our entrance lobby we have a small but helpful library of Quaker and Quaker adjacent books and periodicals. The aim of this page is to make details of what this library contains more accessible. Below you will find a searchable database, which will be kept up to date with any new additions. It can be searched by title or author.
At the library we have a signing in/ signing out book, please be sure to complete this when borrowing and returning any items from the resource.
Our Library
Here you will find new additions to the library, recommendations or books we have recently read as part of our Quaker Book Group which meets once a month at the Meeting House.
Looking In The Distance celebrates the possibilities that life affords whilst examining how doubts and fears too often paralyse people, especially as they get older. It is a highly personal and meditative work that will inspire whoever reads it, helping us to better understand the different ways in which the human search for wholeness and healing can be approached. As with all his books, Richard Holloway peppers his lively prose with an eclectic selection of writings from poets, philosophers and novelists from around the world and across the centuries. The resulting book presents a brilliantly argued thesis that is both challenging and empowering. Looking In The Distance is accessible, funny, serious, hopefully and heartfelt - a book that will change your life.
