Issue & Feedback Slips: Each book is issued with a slip. If you need another slip for any reason, please download and print the pdf file on the right. ASK Trust appreciates your comments or a brief review which you may write directly on to the slip and return it with the book. Your comment or review may be added anonymously to the title in the library list to assist other borrowers in making their choices. It may also help us with future book purchasing decisions.

For those who are uncertain
of what to borrow first from our large library, we suggest an initial look HERE at our Resource
Guide page for a short-list arranged by topic and importance. The Resource
Guide is intended to be particularly useful for adults on the autism spectrum.

The ASK Trust Library Catalogue is viewable in two formats:
|
CATALOGUE in order of AUTHOR.
This is the main catalogue with added information such as whether suitable for academic reference material, generally informative or entertainment value. Contains ratings and comments from readers to help you choose. (Click "Download File" below to open catalogue)
|
CATALOGUE in order of TITLE.
A very basic catalogue, containing only title and author. Very useful if you remember only the title of a book. Find the author in this list and then refer to the main catalogue on the left for full information. (Click "Download File" below to open catalogue)
