Friends of Goring Library
Some of the Books We Love
Look out for the new books that Kate has been able to buy with funds raised by Friends of Goring Library. For instance, she has bought dozens of new children's books; new releases; older classics you've always been meaning to read and reference books like cookery, art and travel, to mention but a small selection.
