Excerpt from Index Catalogue of the Govanhill and Crosshill District Library In the selection of the books to form the several branches of the lending department, what may be termed a principle of variation or differentiation has been observed. It is recognised that there are many books which by reason of their importance or popularity must be placed in each of the district libraries; but as far as possible definite subjects, as for example astronomy, or the French revolution, or' domestic economy, are represented by different books in the different libraries. The same principle of variation is applied in the selection of the newspapers, magazines, and other periodicals pro vided for the service of the various reading and news rooms. By this means each branch library becomes complementary or supplementary to all the others, and the total range of literature thus made available for the service of readers is largely increased. In order to render the collections thus formed as easily and generally accessible as possible, all persons who qualify as borrowers under the Rules are at liberty to draw books from any branch, though not from two at the same time. At each library the catalogues of all the others, as far as published, are at hand for consultation, and the student who has exhausted the resources of the library he usually visits is able to see there what books in his subject are avail-able in the other branch libraries. As a further convenience to borrowers, there has been instituted a daily service between all the branch libraries and a central point, by means of which any borrower is enabled to have books (other than novels) from any branch library sent to the library nearest his home, from which they are issued in the usual way.

The pottery industry was key for Burton-in-Lonsdale on the borders of Yorkshire, Lancashire and Cumbria for nearly three centuries until its demise in 1944. This book tells the story of Richard Bateson, the last potter of Black Burton, a renowned thrower and teacher. It encapsulates the history and traditions of this lost trade; the personalities, the struggles, the humour alongside the hard work. The book is a grand contribution to the history of Burton, the history of pottery and the story of rural arts in transformation from an industrial to a more artistic endeavour. "The most comprehensive collection of history, stories, first-hand accounts and photographs we are ever likely to see... social history of a high order; rooted in its context, explored by those who really understand how it was." From the Foreword by Mark McKergow "(Richard) didn't like Bernard Leach's pots, because all Leach's pots had a wobble and Richard's never did." David Frith, Brookhouse Pottery
This book analyses the development of Catholic schooling in Scotland over the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Scholarship of this period tends to be dominated by discussions of the 1872 and 1918 Education (Scotland) Acts: while these crucial acts are certainly not neglected in this volume, the editors and contributors also examine the key figures and events that shaped Catholic education and Catholic schools in Scotland. Focusing on such diverse themes as lay female teachers and non-formal learning, this volume illuminates many under-researched and neglected aspects of Catholic schooling in Scotland. This wide-ranging edited collection will illuminate fresh historical insights that do not focus exclusively on Catholic schooling, but are also relevant to the wider Scottish educational community. It will appeal to students and scholars of Catholic schooling, schooling in Scotland, as well as Christian schooling more generally.
