Do you replace copies of titles that you have been unsuccessful in retrieving? Noticed that a large number of titles fall into that category.
Yes we try to replace titles that have gone missing or not been returned with the same or a more recent similar title as the budget allows.
If you want a book that is missing we can put in a request to borrow it from an out of Parish library. You can request a title through this online form:
