If you have an interest in local history then you might like to visit the Local Studies Collection. The Collection includes books, as well as some newspapers, journals, parish magazines, trade directories and electoral registers and is constantly growing as new items are published. Most of the book collection is held at Library Headquarters near Cowes but all other sources are also held at the County Record Office in Newport. To find out whether books are held at Library Headquarters or the Record Office, please consult the Library Catalogue available here.
