Speak to our librarians for great recommendations and look out for our Book of the Month for more inspiration.

Amazon Wish List
Parrs Wood Library now has an Amazon Wish List to enable members of our community to gift a book to the school, if they wish to and are able to do so. This list features books we need to replace and new stock we would like to acquire for both our High School and Sixth Form collections.
Please also be aware that we continually accept book donations and are very happy to give a new life to any unwanted books you may have at home.
