Donor Conception Network - Library
This is an updated guide to books and other resources held in the DC Network library.
Subjects include donor conception, general infertility, parenting and secrecy issues, as well as books written for children which parents can use to help explain their origins. These are available to be borrowed from the library on request for a period of ONE month, unless requested by another member.
Members send your request to wrayjone@waitrose.com
They may be borrowed at the national meetings or alternatively I will send them by post discreetly in a plain envelope. There is no charge to DC Network members in the UK for borrowing books, cassettes and videos, apart from the cost of the return postage. Please return books promptly to the address printed on the cover. We operate a waiting list system for the more popular titles. Unfortunately we cannot lend books to overseas members.
