Central Circulating Library (CCL)
Since Poland joined the EU, Poles have flocked here to study, work and pay UK fees and/or taxes. Many are homesick. Reading helps them acclimatize. In the name of diversity, they deserve a Polish language service. The Polish Central Circulating Library service is the best bargain in town.
Each subscription provides you with 50 current Polish fiction and non-fiction books, changed twice a year (so effectively 100 titles p.a.). You can borrow as many sets as you wish.
The Polish Central Circulating Library already lends books to British public and school libraries from Falkirk to Jersey, including Swindon, Sheffield and Greater London. In London we lend the books to libraries in the boroughs of Barking & Dagenham, Brent, Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham, Sutton and Wandsworth.
