The Library obtains most of its books by donation. All books are received on the understanding that if we are unable to place them in the library, we will sell them to raise further funds to purchase more books. A regular book sale table is placed outside the building each Tuesday (weather permitting) and we hold booksales during the Local Food markets.
​
The Houghton Archive contains mainly local history and we are always pleased to receive documents,photos,maps and  memorabelia. If you look around the walls of the library you will find photos, plaques and war memorials relating to Epworth and the Isle of Axholme
