Library of Unwritten Books is a collection of possible books. Artists Sam and Caroline spent November and December recording interviews with chemotherapy patients about the book they would like to write.  Participants talked about their ideas, thoughts, dreams and life experiences in interviews.  These transcripts have now been published in limited edition mini books.  Copies have been given to each participant and the Library is available for other patients and visitors to enjoy in the chemotherapy waiting area.

A selection of books by patients can be downloaded:

Arcadia and Me by Cliff Smeeth

Happy Landing by Gaby

How to Overcome by Anon

The Mantelpiece by Nuala O'Sullivan

Load of Old Blarney by Patrick Kehoe

It's a Beautiful Part of the World by Rhian Whitehead

A Highland Childhood by Kathleen Macrae
