Joint Fiction Reserve (JFR)

All of the London borough and home county library services have assumed responsibility to collect all items with a particular alphabet allocation. This is to ensure that there is a comprehensive stock holding within the region and is known as the Joint Fiction Reserve (JFR). Hackney Libraries maintain a JFR collection, which is listed in the catalogue as belonging to Stoke Newington Library with a collection code of JFR.

If you wish to reserve any items please fill in the online form or simply visit one of our libraries. For items that are not available in our catalogue or in our JFR collection, please fill in the online form and we will try to assist you.
