Nowell

It is a well documented fact the the House Library in Nowell was the largest and best in the school. This was in no small part due to the time, care, effort and love that was put in by Westy, and later Yidon and Fang.

You can read the rules of the library or you can just gaze in wonder at Yidon and me in the library. I'm not quite sure why it looks like I have been squashed into the corner. In this picture you can clearly see some of the prospectuses we collected. The 13 Brunel and 15 Bolton Institute prospectuses are clearly visible, as are some of the hundreds of departmental prospectuses sent to us by Birmingham. There is, however, a sad element to this picture. To the right one can clearly see some of the broken furniture that thoughtless people dumped in their library. The second shelf up housed the "Interestingly Titled Books" section. Here are the titles of our "Interestingly Titled Books":

Take Two At Bedtime - Margery Allingham
The Gaunt Woman - John Blackburn

Also in the library, but not visible in this picture, are the 100+ hymn books that Yidon and Fang saved from being thrown out.
