Finding Fiction (and other leisure reading)

If you live in London, even just for the school year, you are entitled to a London Public Library borrowing card. Click here for the details.

Western Libraries provides support for language and literature programs. That means that we have lots of fiction as part of the library collection.

If you have a specific author or title in mind, you can use the Library Catalogue to see if we have what you want.

If you don't know of a specific author and want to browse, you will find works of fiction in English shelved on the fifth (5th) floor of Weldon Library.

• Call numbers for books by British authors start with PR  (for example:Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen has the call number PR4030.P8F70).
