How old is the oldest book in Paraparaumu Library? It's was gifted to the library, is called Sherlock's Sermons 3 and has a date inside - M.DCC.LV (or 1755). Last month the Wrappers borrowed some of the older books in the teen collection, much more recent than 1755, but classics that are held in stack or continue to be reprinted. Considering the challenge of reading something that might be outside their usual preferences nearly all of the books received positive reviews. The titles are linked to the catalogue below so you can reserve a copy to read for yourself.
