The Library contains over 1300 items, mainly relating to bell ringing, but including some general literature. These were completely reclassified and stored in a database during the past four years as a result of which this new catalogue has been produced. It is an extract from the database record, a full copy of which is held by each member of the committee. The catalogue comprises items held in the crypt in 26 Sections, each section is listed in alphabetical order of Titles, followed at end by an Author index, and a further 17 Sections of the box files held in the tower. It is hoped that with the publication of this catalogue members of the Guild will more fully appreciate the books which are available to them and that greater use will be made of the Library with all the records being held in the archives section of the Library be of great use in the future to refer to.
