We know it is short notice – there is barely a week to go to the online Bodies From the Library Conference 2021 – but we also are aware that many of you like to know some of the books that are going to be discussed at the conference. There might not be time to order the books suggested by the speakers and read them before the conference but if you have any of them on your shelves already then you can look them out and remind yourselves of their contents.
