Issue No. 143 March 2003. Extra.
Circus Friends Association Library Catalogue 2003.
This extra is devoted to the CFA Library. This collection of non-fiction, fiction & children's books began life as a postal lending library but has been under-used in recent years due to the high cost of postage. Its value as a resource was recognised in 2002 when it was presented to the National Fairground Archive (NFA) at the Univirsity of Sheffield. At the time of its donation the library consisted of around 900 books. The collection continues to grow with gifts from individual members and the CFA. Our thanks and appreciation to Dr Vanessa Toulmin of the NFA & Amanda Bernstein for her painstaking and professional cataloguing of the collection.
