Baldock Library The Library for Baldock Donate to Hertfordshire Libraries

It’s now easy to donate online to the library service by visiting our website.

We are often offered donations of money by users who wish to show their appreciation for the service. Those who visit the library are able to do this in person. Now you can also support the library service by donating online. You don't have to donate. Hertfordshire Libraries are a universal and free service to the community. Your decision to donate is an entirely voluntary one. We ask that you don

ate only as much as you feel comfortable with. You may want to consider either a one-off payment or more frequently.

100% of each donation goes directly to Hertfordshire Libraries and is used to maintain and enhance our services. https://www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/librarydonations

When I Kill You by B A Paris
Nell Masters is convinced that someone has discovered her past and they’re stalking her. Silent calls at the office, anonymous flower deliveries, what next? Her new partner Alex has no idea of her past, but he has secrets of his own. Imagination and fear can colour everything. Obsession can be unhealthy and dangerous as Nell knows from experience. This is an absolutely stunning gripping psychological thriller packed with secrets, twists and haunting shadows. There’s a constant sense of unease with the tension building until the final twist and it’s a corker.

Horror not your genre? Did you know that Stephen King doesn't just write horror? The institute ventures into dystopian sci-fi territory in this gripping read about a boy taken to a secret facility for children with extraordinary abilities like telekinesis and telepathy. Packed with incredible world building, suspense and that unmistakeable Stephen King edge, this is the perfect pick for readers who like their stories dark, thought-provoking and impossible to put down! #
