LPN LIBRARY
Leeds Permaculture Network library is proud to announce that it has available a small collection of books which can be loaned. The library is open from 6.30 until 7.15 each LPN evening on the last Tuesday of every month at the Common Place in Leeds city centre.
Feel free to come along and have a browse.If you wish to join the library we ask for a £10 membership fee toward the LPN Library. We also require a contact phone number and email address.
We would ask that you return the book at the next LPN evening, giving you a month’s loan. If this is difficult then arrangements can be made to drop at the Permaculture Office in Kirkstall or coming to an agreement by contacting myself at

Over the coming months we hope to expand the library by increasing the number of books and including other sources such as DVD’s, journals etc. A large selection of the books held are used as resources by LPN Teachers on the Introduction to Permaculture Courses. These books are available to be used on others Introduction courses or one off presentations. Please contact me if you wish to use them.
As it is the your library please feel free to suggest any books you have come across that you think would be good resources for others. Also if there is a title that you think would be good to get hold of, please let us know. We would like the library to hold a wide range of information on all aspects of sustainability, with a focus on the harder to get titles and more specialist information.
Listed below are the titles available through the Library. At some point I shall put a brief outline to each book however most of the books contents are explained by the title and a quick search on the internet will no doubt reveal more information.
